I really enjoyed the Hades Trials so I expected a lot from the first Ares Trials... The FMC acts like a teenager and got on my nerves from the first page. She wasn't tough, she was bratty and reminded me of a Chihuahua. I thought maybe Ares would surprise me but same. He is a 3000 year old god who has no character development at all. Why did he also acted like spoiled selfish teenager? The story was the same as in Hades Trials just with unlikeable characters... I won't read the other books in the series.
