It was so easy to see why they did, and I'm positive that the story would have been lacking if they hadn't thought that they were justice itself. I loved it when the girls took out their fury on people it gave the story so much.

My favorite part of this book was the myth of the Furies. Thankfully, the romance was such a small part of the book that I easily overlooked it. They fell 'in love' by the second date, which is a big no-no. He always seemed like such a happy light- I wish that he had gotten a bit more character time, you know? I also wish that the romance between Meg & Brendon would have been given more time. I felt bad for Meg's friend Raymond, though. Stephanie figured it out too, eventually. Meg definitely grew as a character throughout the book, though, which is a bit more than I can say for Alix. how do I say this gently? I felt like Meg was way too power-hungry, which threw her sense of justice out of whack. Alix was too tough and hardcore (with no sense of mercy) and Meg was. Alix and Meg, however, didn't really do it for me. Even when she could have (or even should have) given up, she kept trying to stand up for what she believed in. I could relate to her, because in her own way she was trying to change the world. I liked the character of Stephanie I believe that she was my favorite. The rest of the book was fairly enjoyable! I can't imagine boys going by nicknames such as 'Gnat', 'Bubonic' or 'Pox'. I could possibly see how someone might come up with a set of nicknames like that, but I really doubt that it would be a group of teenage boys. The other thing that bothered me was 'The Plagues'. but come on! I never got an explanation for it. But the fact still remains that this is a GREEK myth come to life. Normally, this isn't a big deal, as most YA books are based in America. The first seemingly small thing that I couldn't get past was the fact that it's based in America. And while I liked it, this didn't add up to 'love' for me although I wish it could have. We are straight out of mythology, goddesses who avenge, retaliate, punish, haunt, hunt, and don't stand around being victims, but make things happen.
