"This book is amazing! Shade and Marina's son, Gryffin, gets sucked into the underworld! But the living can't stay alive there for very long, and there are bats that want to kill Gryffin and steal his life! Can he make it out in time? "

" A fun read for this book in this series by Kenneth Oppel. Griffin, Shade's son, gets into some trouble and his father must save him. Griffin is a lot like his father and has a lot of courage in this struggle of Gods in the underworld. I definitely liked this the least of all of the books in the series so far, but it was still pretty good. Definitely a fan of Kenneth Oppel. "
