" I would not recommend this book series. I found the story itself to be interesting, but slow moving. The use of mythological characters is unique, certainly, but also somewhat confusing. Nothing felt quite thought out, and everything felt like it was setting up for a series (which it is) rather than telling a story in itself. The writing is derivative and repetitive; the author constantly repeats information, in case we forgot it from last chapter, or tells you what characters are thinking or feeling when it is or should be obvious from the events going on. The reader of the audiobook did a credible job bringing this story to life, but could not overcome the insipid writing. I find myself drawn to book 2 out of train-wreck curiosity only, and regret the choice. I apologize for my harsh words to the author, and look forward to his next project, whatever it may be, as it will come with more experience and hopefully less straight-to-series marketing. "
