This book is a lot darker than Meg's other books, but not in a bad way...at all!! I may be biased, because as mentioned before I am a HUGE Meg Cabot fan! (My collection grows every year!) However, the reviews I had read before reading the book were all saying it was great too! :)
Like Meg's other books, this one has mythology (however, it isn't like a bunch of stuff about myths, not like a textbook or anything :) ), romance, drama, and in between a little bit of that Meg humor that I love :).
