I liked this book pretty well. I loved the fantasy aspect, with lots of magic and ancient myths! The story is good, and the plot moves quickly. I liked the characters, but although they are all interesting and diverse, I didn't really connect with any of them.
(I think I expected it to be sort of like Percy Jackson, since it is a modern setting with old legends/gods/myths; but it is nothing like PJ, so I was a little disappointed.)

The one thing I really disliked is that this author states the obvious, and he does it over and over, and then he tells you the obvious AGAIN. I don't need to be told the same thing three or four times, especially when it's something that's already glaringly obvious! Ugh. It got on my nerves.

I liked the connection between Josh and Sophie. I always love stories about siblings, especially twins! They have a great sibling dynamic of loving and supporting each other, but also annoying each other. They rely on one another and understand the other person without needing to speak, but they also are growing, together and apart, in different directions. I really loved reading about their sibling relationship!

I only liked this book okay, so I probably won't continue with the rest of the series. I have too many other books on my radar right now.
