*I got this book for review form the publisher*

I really enjoyed this read. I found the diversity to be such a fun read. I found this book to a super compelling read. I thought the end of the book was a tad rushed. I really loved the myths that this story used. I also loved how this story had a trio of characters. I really found his book to be such a fun read and I am really excited for the sequel as well!

The cover of this book? Pretty. The plot and mythology aspects? Interesting enough. But the narrative voice? MEH. Hence the two-star rating.

So ... I love Percy Jackson but this book ohhhh boy ... I liked it but I felt it was some sort of Percy Jackson Mayan version ... I did not feel that was something new... In addition the story, has potentials but the the way it was written ... Or I do not like the way the author writes or just did not think it was perfect ... It's a midle grade, it's normal, maybe, I'm not satisfied with the story, but I could not really stay grasped to the story. I thought it was just another book of Gods. I was a bit disillusioned, I really thought the story was going on a different direction.

I really liked this book it is always nice to read about a mythology that is not Greek or Roman. I really liked the characters especially Zane and Brooks I found them both to be easy to like characters their motivations were easy to understand. Zane is an easy to like character he is a boy judged for something that is not his fault who then finds out he is so much more than he ever dreamed. I really liked that he would go above and beyond for his dog Rosie I liked how that ended up. I really liked the plot it started with a boy and his dog with that boy losing his dog and finding things about himself he would never of put together on his own. So overall I really liked this book I will for sure read the sequel.

It was okay. I know this is a Rick Riordan presents series but it’s not by him so I really didn’t expect so much Percy Jackson to actually be in this but it felt kind of copy paste but with Mayan gods. Single mom living in a shitty environment to hide her demigod son? Check. Badass girl who doesn’t like him but they actually do like each other? Check. Disability is actually superpower. Check. All of this could have been avoided if the parents didn’t suck and keep secrets? Check. I really didn’t see much difference and nothing really stood out to me as amazing and gripping. It wasn’t bad and there were parts and characters I like I just expected something with a little more uniqueness to it than what I got.
