Half-Blood

I do not want to get into who copied who with this book, but I was completely unable to fully enjoy this book because it was basically Vampire Academy. There are way too many similarities that make it impossible for me to separate them. I really enjoyed VA and this made it impossible to not compare when reading this. For me, the only true differences based on this first installment are the words used to describe things and the fact that it is mythology rather than vampires.

I will continue with the next book to see if the similarities continue but I'm very hesitant to say I enjoyed this book. It was a quick read and I did like the relationship between Aiden and Alex.
