Thoughts on “Blood of Hercules” book?

I started reading Blood of Hercules by Jasmine Mas and I’m having a really hard time.

Unlike with ACOTAR and Throne of Glass, etc, Blood of Hercules writing and world building is not very great? It seems very 2018 teenager despite the INCREDIBLE trauma the main character faces? It seems like the author just whipped up the character and kept slapping on trauma trauma trauma and no character development and personality reflecting that trauma at all?

I guess I went in with a really high expectation based on the authors I usually read. As well as, the description on the back of the book. It does not reflect the content well at all.

I don’t know id just like someone’s opinions who is also reading or has read it.

Should I continue or just decide to put it down?
