It's a very two-dimensional version of the Percy Jackson series. I started reading it to laugh at it, but it was so bad that there wasn't anything to laugh at.

I thought this book was pretty good overall. It was a little hard to get into, but once you get into the story you can’t put it down. Their are several twists, but I half expected most of them. If you enjoyed Percy Jackson this is right down your ally. The main character, Logan, reminds me of Percy in several ways. He’s thrown into a Greek Mythology filled world , his best friend, Daniel, knows a ton about Greek Mythology, and his other best friend, Harper, is smart, witty, and intelligent. Overall this book is pretty good and I would recommend to any Percy Jackson fans.

I'm not gonna waste much more energy on this trainwreck of a book.
The characters in this book are all horrible in their own way. Logan is a massive jerk through the entire book. So self centered, hypocritical and just flat out dumb as hell. Harper is so unforgettable, I'm not even joking when I say I forgot her name half the time. Daniel is just a big coward with really nothing to offer except some bad mythological facts and dumb facial expressions.
Can't wait to never have to think about Logan and his hero complex ever again, as I highly doubt there will ever be a sequel published. One star is being generous, as this book didn't offer anything creative and original. Sure it's not copied word for word, but every new thing it tried to do just fell flat.
I would much rather have read about them singing in the rain like Mary Poppins.

If I had a child that was too young for Percy Jackson this might be the book for them. However as an avid Percy Jackson fan who can read those books and love it even at 22 this book is way too juvenile to the point where I couldn’t really start it. The first two chapters were pretty rushed, whilst Percy Jackson’s opening it didn’t feel rushed it felt nicely paced. The character seems to want to have Percy Jackson’s humor but falls very short. Honestly I feel like the writing not only is it juvenile but I really doubt anyone would like it? Reminds of something I could write at fifteen as a fan fiction self insert Percy Jackson.
