3- stars.Acheron's story was incredibly fascinating, and also incredibly painful. I appreciate the attention Kenyon gave to his tale. That said though, I did find the story and writing overly simplistic,and Tory -the hero's romantic redemption- came across as immature, judgmental, self-involved and at times just plain irrational. (By the way, she slaps Artemis? That's the climactic showdown in which she avenges her beloved? A slap?! I guess I'm more bloodthirsty.)
