Galene, daughter of Poseidon, desperately wants to earn her place among the gods. But when a violent attack leaves Mount Olympus in chaos and ruins, she is accused of the crime. Banished from Olympus, Galene sets out to prove her innocence and discovers a more deadly plot—one that threatens even the oldest of Immortals.
Fortunately, she has allies who willingly join her in exile:
A lifelong friend who commands the wind.
A defiant warrior with deadly skill.
A fire-wielder with a hero’s heart.
A mastermind who plays life like a game.
All-out war is knocking at the gates. Galene and her friends are the only ones who can tip the scales toward justice, but their choices could save Olympus from total annihilation, or be the doom of them all.
My Thoughts
**Thank you so much to NetGalley and TBR and Beyond Tours for sending me an Advanced Reader's Copy in exchange for an honest review as part of the blog tour!**
Galene, the daughter of Poseidon, has looked forward to earning her spot as a god on Mount Olympus but a murder prevents her from doing so and even more, she gets blamed and exiled forever.
It took all of Galene's concentration to not lose her grip on the sea. She ignored Chrysander holding her down, ignored him as he yelled into her face. She just pushed and pulled.
Aside from Galene leaving, her friends also decide to go with her. When she comes across a plan that threatens to ruin Mount Olympus, she and her friends must stop it at all cost and prove Galene's innocence.
No one could doubt she had the avyssos now. Instead of fear, confidence bloomed in her chest.
Star Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3)
I didn't like the multiple POVs as much as I had thought. To me, it was a little underdeveloped but had potential. It was also full of adventure, but it was a little slow in the middle. However, the ending was better and I enjoyed it.
I did like the Greek mythology in it. In 5th grade, I lived for the Goddess Girls series by Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams which got me into books on Greek mythology ever since.
Overall, The Immortal Game was an action-packed story about Galene and her friends saving mount Mount Olympus from destruction. The Greek mythology was a nice touch and for the most part, I enjoyed reading it.
