Discord's Apple Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This was an odd book. Unlike her 'Kitty' series, it doesn't occur in our world, but rather a very similar world only with the world on the brink of disaster. It brings in the ancient Greek gods and goddesses, as well as a couple other people from the time of Troy and the destruction thereof. At first I thought it read like the first in a series-a lot of set-up, learning who's who and why they're important. Then we come to the end. Can't say I'm a fan of the ending. Still, getting to that part was fun and entertaining, and I really liked Alex/Sinon and his story. His story ended well, I thought. "

" Great premise. It's a decent book with good writing. Original concept. I could have, however, done without the stuff about her writing. It seemed pointless to me and had nothing to do with the plot. "

" Finished this book today at lunch and I thought it was an interesting read. The heroine was good, but didn't know everything which is always a positive. The hero was interesting, but I would've liked to see more of his struggle, without it he seems a little cardboard to me. The story takes place in America but it's an America under martial law and one step away from nuclear war - I would've enjoyed learning more about what brought the country to the brink like that. Loved the ties to the various mythologies! I'm not sure if I'll read it again at some point, but I'm certainly glad I gave this one a shot. "

" This book was amazing. I could not put it down. Troy is one of my favorite Greek myths and this book just made me love it more. I recommend this book to everyone. "

" I like Vaughn's "Kitty" books, but after reading Discord's Apple and After the Golden Age she's moved up to my "autobuy" list. Her exploration of themes of mythology, ancient and modern, brings a fresh look to cultural tropes and folklore. "

" Hard to get into at first, but then I got it and really liked this book. Interesting idea! "

" Not bad, but Evie Walker is no Kitty Norville. "

" Great stuff. I think I might have a crush on Carrie Vaughn. Thoroughly impressive. "

" In the near future the world faces one major disaster after another, magic is reemerging and myths are interweaving with reality. Evie Walker finds herself the keeper of a story room of magical item waiting for their owners and the object of interest of a man who can not die. "

" Entertaining - always fun to see ancient myths brought into current times. "

" Interesting premise, but not that well executed. "

" Her werewolf books are better. "

" The crux of this book is an enormously racist re-imagining of the world, based on Greek mythology, without even a nod to other mythology. If I could give it no stars, I would. "

" Great book... didn't care too much for the ending, but it was a definite ending. "

" I really like this unique premise, where a family has been taking care of a Storehouse of magical items over the centuries. Combining history, myth and fairy tales along with engaging characters (as usual for the author) makes this story very entertaining! "

" Its a good read, too bad its a stand alone novel. It would've been nice to have a sequel. "

" I really liked this book. I've read the Kitty books by her and loved them and this book did not disappoint. =) I'd read more of these books "

" Great book! Picked it up by chance at the library and I couldn't put it down. "

" It was a lot softer than I expected, and not nearly as mysterious. It was alright, but nothing special. "

" I like the different story line from Carrie Vaughn. I like the mix of future and historical in the storyline, and would like another with the same characters. "

" A believable combination of myth and reality, gods and humans. "
