Maybe good if you like intricately described fight scenes. personally I felt there was much too little emotional depth for me to care about the characters, and way too much along the lines of "she pivoted on her heel to swing her staff in a backhand stroke" and way too little real emotional interaction between the characters. I got bored, which shouldn't happen in a high-stakes fight between demigods and multidimensional bad guys.
