The Age of Zeus by James Lovegrove
5.0
I enjoyed this a lot more than The Age of Ra. I can't quite explain why, though the fact that there was more action and the gods were more involved might have something to do with it. I liked the set up of this universe more as well and didn't realize until I started it that this universe and The Age of Ra are completely separate. I imagine the Age of Odin will be as well and plan to read that next.
My only complaint is that at least in Age of Ra I got to care more about the characters, here it was a little more difficult to learn about Sam's team and the characters around her. I did like Sam though and thought she was an excellent protagonist, especially since you don't often see females leading like she does, that was refreshing.
I certainly liked the parallel of themes between this book and actual Greek mythology, which the author and several characters continually point out.
