This was pretty good...very imaginative, and a unique concept, which I appreciate. But I've read far, far better young adult fiction than this. I'm not sorry I read it, but I also wouldn't recommend going out of your way to read it.

I read it way long ago and I loved it so much at that time that I read the whole series after the first.

Percy Jackson is goated, this narrator kinda sucks tho…. I get that you have to differentiate voices but why did every god sound like they’d smoked a pack a day for the past 50 years. And the guy with the “slightly british accent” sound like he was from Texas?? And Luke sounded sooo californian surfer dude it was hard to listen to. Also def got more than a few pronunciations wrong. Why did you consistently say “musAc” instead of “music” ??? Idk it was so small but it bothered me. 

Don’t audiobook… please read a physical copy…
