This is one of the best books on my shelves! Can't wait to read the others!

This took me way longer to read than it should have because...I just wasn’t enjoying it. I thought I’d like this more; it seemed up my alley. But it was slow; the story didn’t take off until the last quarter of the book. I think the characters were too young. There was some deus ex machina moments that made no sense. It just wasn’t my cup of tea.

Not necessarily a bad book, but incredibly slow at times.
But seriously. How could anyone compare this with Percy Jackson (which I was what got me into reading in the first place) is beyond me.

1) Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
2) Genre: YA Fantasy
3) Synopsis: Jack has something in his head that will kill him. Kill him if it isn't treated. It is only a temporary fix unless he finds the lost powers of Atlantis.
4) Feelings: I am usually big on anything that has to do with Atlantis but this book feel short for me. I am not certain why it did though. I think part of it may be because it might be targeted at the younger portion of the YA audience. For some reason every young YA or middle age book I have read I didn't like. Maybe I am more mature than I thought.
5) Final recommendation: It wasn't horrible but wasn't great. Probably good for a younger reader. Although it is certainly setting up the series. Not a big fan of that either.
