Absolutely an awe-struck fantasy adventure. It's one of those rare breed of books that can not replace that feeling of the continuos dramatic pleasure and emotions nor can not be replaced. It's been a book that I have not recommended but begged people to read. You can not like it, never. It's a book that is always loved.

I used to think loads of books were amazing before I started on this series. But once I started I couldn't stop!!!!! This book has set my standard and I am now comparing every book I read to Percy Jackson.

I loved this book. Once I picked it up, I was not able to put it down. It is one of my favourite books. I have read the whole series and I could not stop reading them. I would recommend this book to you if you like reading myths and legends, and like adventure books!
