5.0

I would have normally given this less than 5 stars because second/third books in an AU setting usually don't inspire the same sense of wonderment as when a magical world is first introduced. However, the pace at which this story unfolded was perfect narration, and the introduction of new characters and Greek monsters never felt overwhelming to take in. The plot development and twists are the icing on the cake.
