A review by midwifereading
Age of Myth by Michael J. Sullivan
3.0
Overall, I enjoyed the story and characters enough to plan on picking up the next book in the series. Persephone, Suri, and Arion are definitely worth following.
Reasons it doesn't get more stars:
Raithe doesn't impress me much, God-killer though he is...
The geography and timeline don't feel like they match to me. I feel like this story has enough substance to have taken place over a much longer time, and the traveling distances feel like they would require more time than this book seems to cover.
The villain reminds me of an over-dramatic Jafar. I really didn't care about him. Grin the Brown is far more sinister and provides a much better plotline.
The dialogue felt far too modern.
