    "Disappointing... couldn't finish"

    Unfortunately this was one of those books that I couldn't finish, probably because it falls in the fantasy rather than scifi category that I was expecting. It seemed to be a series of episodes of a demi-god trying to defeat a god, of course with neither of them ever dying. It just seemed so pointless. But obviously other reviewers liked it, so maybe it's just not to my taste.

    "Never got into it"

    I love sci fi, but this one just didn't do it for me. I got about halfway through the first book and gave up. I didn't like anyone or anything in the book enough to finish it. I couldn't find any character or plot line or really anything sufficiently interesting to make me want to continue reading. Not my cuppa tea.

    "eh."

    the narator, though he did a good job, his voice was real deep and mono tone. kinda put me to sleep. this book dragged on. i paid for it, so i had to finish it. but, i was seriously debating giving up on more than one occasion. good story though.
