I’ve always known that Bracken was a great writer, thanks to her Darkest Minds series and Passenger duology, but I felt like you could really tell how much she’s grown since her first book came out. The first thing that really sold me on this book was how it was a story more or less about Greek mythology being real and having its own place in our world, though it’s unbeknownst to majority of the world’s population, but what really drove it home was the narrative and overall writing. All my boxes were checked off and more, and I’m beyond happy to be delivering a beautifully glowing review of Lore.
Everything I’ve been complaining about in 2020 books, everything I’d wished to see done differently, she did right. And thank every single god above that she delivered. I’m no stranger to Alexandra Bracken as an author as I’ve been reading her stories for a good handful of years now, so I expected a lot from this new standalone. And Lore blew that out of the water and gave me everything I’d been missing. That’s all I needed one, single new release that would simply be good.
We all know that 2020 was a pretty shitty year for books and all I could hope for in 2021 is just one good book.
