The book is very interesting because the plot is inspired from the Ancient Greek myths but it is  presented in a modern version that makes it very fresh.But the book has some flaws the world-building in this book doesn't exist. The author doesn't spend any time building his world so that the reader can be attached to it. The book has a very fast pace and sometimes some events are not mentioned in detail. He could have  cut down in adventures and spend more time in world building and in details.
