Hermes;
Honestly my favourite character in the book, despite quickly deteriorating he manages to stay upbeat, heartbreaking in its own right. The sister-brother relationship between him and Athena has been made a lot clearer, explaining Athena's outburst when things aren't going fast enough. She needs to save her little brother.

Athena and Odysseus;
Didn't like this relationship in the first book and I don't like it now, although it isn't too bad that you can't read the book. What bothers me about this is that I like both of the individual characters, they just don't go together very well.
SpoilerCalypso seems like an amazing person, she has my vote any day.


Achilles;
The second weapon. Cocky, good looking and full with unquenched anger. What could go wrong?
Spoilereverything.


Hera, Aphrodite and Ares;
In this book we got to see more of the behind the scenes, what goes on in the circle of 'villains'. This makes the story more well rounded and enjoyable to read. It gives us a better insight to their motivation; to live, to be with their love; to stop feeling helpless.
