I would love to read this!

I have been a fan of Ricks writings since the very first PJ book, and love his idea of constantly expanding his universe of storytelling. This one is no exeption. While at first sceptical with the whole nordic setting I now came to love the story with its new characters and mythology. Even though gradualy this book also manages to further move to a more adult version of storytelling (still for teens but with gradualy more violence that does serve a purpose... i mean when fighting monsters and gods with blades, spears and all manners of dangerous items, it always bothered me that people would not die or at least get injured). It does that in a similar way then the third trials of appolo book.

The one critisism I have to state is that the speaker in this audio book is not that great. I say this of cause compared to the speakers in Riordans other books. While doing a great job when it comes to voice acting, his basic voice is not that nice. without comparison this would probably not be a problem but after for examle listening to the speaker from trials of appolo it just feels like a downgrade.

verdict: awesome story that is good to listen to but great to read!

Good story

Good story but terrible reader. I'm sorry but he just can't read. The emotion was completely lost to him. It's almost painful to listen to.

Eta. It's a bit better if you speed it up a little.

Die Story ist definitiv was für Fantasyfans, die auch ein bisschen schmunzeln wollen. Der Sprecher ist absolut klasse!
