I found this a difficult book to get through. However, it did make me think about myths and stories in a different way. Sometimes in a direction that I would never have gone on my own.
An interesting look at what is happening to boys today. I find that this book needs to be read again from time to time as you get more from it each time you read it. I am due to re-read it again soon.
The series turned out to be better than I expected. I really enjoyed it. It certainly transported me to a different world. Will there be a sequel, I wonder?
The first book I read by Maeve I found a bit all-over-the place but I decided to give her another look and now that I am used to her style I really enjoy her stories. I read this one very quickly as I had trouble putting it down. I am now looking forward of reading more of her work.
