Will you did a great job explaining the book! Now I want to read it. The book sounds great. It seems like a cliffhanger. I want to know what happens next.
ReplyDeleteI have serious Rick Riordan envy. Had I known when I first was a total geek about Greek and Roman (and Norse) mythology when I was in the 6th grade in 1969 that I was not alone and so many really wonderful books could be written about them, I would have gone about my life differently!
ReplyDeleteOr maybe I would have been an archeologist. Or an anthropologist.
My daughters were huge Percy Jackson fans, so of course I was instructed to get the first Kane Chronicles book for them. I still haven't started this series... (more for the To Be Read pile).
