A strange read for me; it was good enough for me to get well past the 25% mark where I will drop a book that's just not grabbed my attention and yet I'm not sad that I'll be returning the book to the library before getting to the 50% mark.

It's a huge book! 13 hours, and I'm not even halfway in. Based on the storyline so far, alot of books would be at the back side of the highpoint and winding down to the finish by now. What the heck more does this author intend to present?

I will say the storytelling is really good, very creative environments and characters, but these characters aren't really drawing me in and this is the main reason I'm not sad about not completing this book.

You have to get the audio with the author narrating. Turn this on after you've crawled into bed and listen to Stephen Fry read you to sleep. For adults only; adult themes come up now and again.

The trials and tribulations of many of the demi-gods of Greece, with lots of facts and ties to our times today.

A very quick read; not the author's usual big books. Her usual, interesting stories, pictures big enough you can see some of the detail and an interesting logic to the sequence of the images.

The author does a good job of focusing on other topics than the blow-by-blow of the fights. And the technologies are new to me so very intriguing. The characters are interesting.

I'll read the next in the series.

A bit depressing but the storytelling is good, the interactions between characters is great, the timeline jumps aren't too jarring, and lots of unexpected twists.
