Resumen del Editor

Manhattan has many secrets. Some are older than the city itself.

The city sleeps. Selene DiSilva walks her dog along the banks of the Hudson. She is alone - just the way she likes it. She doesn't believe in friends, and she doesn't speak to her family. Most of them are simply too dangerous.

In the predawn calm, Selene finds the body of a young woman washed ashore, gruesomely mutilated and wreathed in laurel. Her ancient rage returns. And so does the memory of a promise she made long ago - when her name was Artemis.

Reseñas de la Crítica

" The Immortals is a lively re-imagining of classical mythology with an engaging premise, a page-turning plot, and an eye for the arresting and uncanny in contemporary urban life." (Deborah Harkness, New York Times best-selling author of A Discovery of Witches)

Awesome!!!!

For adults who are fans of books by Rick Riodan, this is an amazing book. can wait to start the next book.

spoiler alert

it was a great story, & a great book. I did truly enjoy it up until the end. It is not often you find a good book with a female heroine that does not involve romance. so I was quite disappointed when they brought Theo back to life.

Such a fantastic start to a fantastic trilogy

This is an excellent start to a series. My only real complaint is that I wish Jordanna Max Brodsky would write more books!

Not what I was expecting.

What did you love best about The Immortals?

The Narrators and learning about Greek Mythology.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I loved the acknowledgements at the end. She gave credit where credit was due.

Have you listened to any of Jordanna Max Brodsky and Robert Petkoff ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was my first by Jordanna Brodsky, she did excellent job narrating. Robert Petkoff is the BOMB!! In fact, I purchased this book because I searched specifically for his name as narrator. He did not disappoint! He could read anything and make it interesting. He's my favorite by far!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

Good book

I really enjoyed this book I learned from it. It also kept me guessing about the story. I would say it was very well written and it’s a good book.

Fun

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Not predictable, the characters are complex and realistic, and I really appreciated the merging of the Ancient Greek pantheon with modern NYC. Well done!

Slow plot progress.

Slow plot progress. Didn't finish it. Characters and plot idea were ok, but nothing happens.

Refreshing

The Immortals was a welcome alternative to space wars and zombies. As a teen I was fascinated by Greek mythology but never got to take the class.

Loved it!

The narration was great; overall a great listen on audible. I look forward to more work by this author!

Ordinary and disappointing

I really liked the inclusion of real Greek mythology. But the storyline was predictable and boring.
