There was an actual moment the author surprised me in this book. This does not happen often. On to book 3!

This was an excellent read. Hard to put down, with a very interesting world and even a few unexpected character connections. Skillfully sewn together subplots that give the reader some very satisfying moments when they converge. Even though it features environmental disaster, it is not an excuse to be trite and preachy, as I half dreaded it might have been. This is when I am happy to find a book after the sequels have already been published! Definitely reading more of this author!

This trilogy was a fun read. Swashbuckling, magic, and wonder. I feared very briefly that this third installment might drag, but was fortunately incorrect. I liked this set enough that I shall have to investigate more of the author's work.

This is a fun read. The tales are told in friendly, engaging tone. This made me realize how very much Greek mythology I already knew, and was a nice revisit. The author has done his best to weave the complicated tangle of tales into a more coherent, continuous narrative, which may help them make more immediate sense to a novice. At the same time, he employs a dry wit and large array of cultural references. The footnotes are a pleasure.

Great fun. These ancient, outrageous tales are told in a casual and relaxed manner.

This was a fun read. Not quite "League of Peoples" good, but good enough that I want to read the sequel.

Great fun!

This is a terrific reference for managing the trees and shrubs you have. Its also good to read if you want to know the care involved in plants you are considering purchase of.
