I'm a Bit Disappointed

I kept hoping for more from this novel than what I got. The characters are great, the setting is awesome, but the plot left something to be desired. There were parallels to the Book of the Ancestor trilogy. For example, in both trilogies the characters have the same final destination in mind. Speaking of the Book of the Ancestor, if you haven’t read it prior to reading this novel be prepared to be lost and have parts of the final book of that trilogy spoiled for you.

The connections between this book and Holy Sister (the final novel of the Book of the Ancestor trilogy) were generally good. Sometimes they were exciting, but sometimes they caused the story to drag. However, there was too much dues ex machina for me to fully enjoy the novel. There were too many times that the heroes just tried really hard and suddenly their magic worked better than ever before. In the novel there were characters affected by time and they moved slowly or quickly through it. I thought this could be really exciting, but ultimately it felt very uninspired and bored me a little.

As with the previous novel, if you’re familiar with Greek mythology, you’ll notice lots of references to it here.

This novel made me miss Heather O'Neill, who narrated the Book of the Ancestor trilogy. In this novel family names, locations and other familiar aspects were mentioned, but Helen Duff’s pronunciation made me realize how amazing O’Neill was. Furthermore, Duff struggled with the Greek pronunciation in this novel. Overall, I was a little disappointed in both the story and the narration.
