This wasn't terrible, and it wasn't great. It was just.... meh.
There was nothing highly objectionable in it, but it also didn't stand out from all the other retellings of this myth.
It did get interesting at the end where the mechanics of the world that had been created came in to create problems, but that's apparently something for the next book, which I probably won't be reading.
It was interesting that, in this version, Olympus had fallen (like, literally, through the ground) because the gods were no longer being worshiped. The mechanics of how they get there power was not layed out fully, but was detailed enough to be believable.
In the end, I think it was cute, but I wouldn't read on.
