An interesting premise for a story but the writing and characters just weren't up to par.
Let me make this short and simple :-) Great book, awesome characters (kinda wanted to slap the teens though). One of my favourites but a romantic edge would have made it a lot better. My advice: read the series
Hmm, I think this story had a good idea. I also think the writing was decent. But I was just so bored by it, I couldn't bring myself to finish it. I had thought (more than once) that I should just stop listening to it, but kept on until I asked myself if I really cared what happened to any of these characters or the story and the answer was a resounding "NO" so I let myself off the hook. Phew. Too many books and too little time before I die to read stuff I can't bring myself to care about. :-)
It's been a while since I've read this book, but honestly, holds up really well!! I loved the audiobook narrator and the characters and world building are so interesting. Scatty and John Dee are some of my favourites:)

This book wasn't too bad, and it was an enjoyable read. I really liked how the author included gods and goddesses from other cultures and mythology, and added a better fulfillment for me. The idea is a little overused, but not as predictable on certain details. I think this is worth reading the rest of the series, and it made me unwind a little bit too. Overall, a really good read with a few
minor dislikes, and I recommend it for everyone.

I would have loved an entire book about the life and struggles of Nick Fleming struggling to come to terms with modern technology and arguing with the small automatic voiced travel guide trapped in the automobile.
Didn't get into this fantasy world; the characters weren't ones I really rooted for, and I won't read any more in the series. But I can see that it might appeal to younger readers looking for adventure/fantasy.
I think upper elementary and middle school boys would enjoy it.
Interesting premise, but not enough to get me to keep reading. The teenage characters seemed a little one dimensional and written by an adult...who doesn't know any teenagers

This book is so millennial coded, I’m surprised it’s not more popular.
I’m intrigued by the start so far, but not sure if I want to continue with the series… I might give it one more book to convince me
