Styxx

Styxx by Sherrilyn Kenyon  

837 pages

Having read Acheron, where I was first introduced to the character of Styxx, it was interesting to read his story.  Because they were twins, and the first half of the book, Acheron, focuses on his human life, as does the first part of Styxx, some of the story is the same, but since each is told from the perspective of the main character, the stories end up being very different, especially since the twins were separated when they were seven years old.  Although we find out about some of the abuse Acheron endured, we also get to see how much abuse Styxx also endured.  The story moves pretty quickly and is pretty typical of Kenyon’s style, lots of violence, some sex, and a little humor thrown in.  Based loosely on Greek, Egyptian, And Atlantean mythology, fans of her other books should like this addition.
