Review of the audiobook narrated by Luke Daniels.
The first book was entertaining. The second book was more of the same, but still ok. With this, the third book, I've had enough. I need more substance than just an endless parade of mythological characters and gods doing and saying mildly funny things. Their is little drama and depth to the characters (other than Atticus), which makes for some fun light reading, but doesn't hold up for an entire series of this length.
I think part of the problem is that I read them too close together, doing one book per month (I'm part of an audiobook club that's reading through the series). Apparently I haven't learned my lesson because I did that before with the Robert Langdon books by Dan Brown, which also suffer from little variation in the formula between books. As with that series, maybe I'll come back to this one in a year or so when it may feel fresh again.
Luke Daniels is a great fit for the series and it's no fault of his that I didn't enjoy this book.
Final verdict: 2 star story, 4 star narration, 3 stars overall
