I finished this book in a matter of two days which means either it was really short, or I enjoyed it enough to zoom through it ha. This book took a really unique twist to the tale of Hades, God of the underworld. Typically when you read about Hades he's this feared, loathed, and hated God. This story actually made him out to be a decent God just doing what he has to do for the universe. The fact is though this didn't stick to Greek mythology very well...at all. It's as though Carter just read a little excerpt of each Gods personality and did what she wanted with it. If it had been more semi-factual I probably would've given it 4 instead of 3 stars. 
 When I first started reading this I was expecting her tests to be a lot more obvious and difficult. Instead these weren't tests of actions, but instead they were tests of a person's character which I really enjoyed. Though in all honesty did greek gods REALLY care about you being a "good" person? I mean come on most of them were known to have SEVERAL mistresses with kids from many women. Lust? They didn't give a ^$#^ about it ha. 
 I feel as though the main character Henry lacked a lot of depth to his personality. No matter the situation I felt as though he was very bland. I feel like there needs to be a spin off book from his point of view of the situation to make me enjoy his character more, because honestly he read a little bit like Edward from Twilight. Actually a LOT like Mr. Cullen from Twilight when I think about it. I enjoyed Twilight though so that doesn't make me hate this book ha. All the other side characters I seemed to enjoy a lot more then Henry himself. I found myself more in love with James than Henry despite him only being in a few chapters of the book he made a greater impact on me. 
 I want to keep reading the series, but I just wish it stuck more with the actual greek mythology aspect.
