This Dark Endeavor by Kenneth Oppel

5.0

This was an extremely fast paced read. I read this over a vacation (reading on vacation is extremely difficult) and there was one point where I didn't read it for three days, so I was surprised when I opened it back up again that it had stuck with me that whole time so I could get back into the story immediately once more.
There was always something thrilling going on whether it was action packed or drama from a bitter love triangle, and before I knew it I had read the last page. I was also very impressed at how the author fit the way his characters talked so it accurately represented the time period as much as it possibly could. And it was interesting to read a love triangle from a boy's perspective.
The ending has only just sunk in for me, it was so sudden, but something I expected because I was reminded of the gorgon's blood situation in The Son of Neptune.
I wish I had the sequel in my hands right now.
