Initially I wasn't entirely sure how well science fiction and mythology would mix, but the author carried it off brilliantly and created an intriguing story that kept me captivated throughout.The interesting cast of characters included a wide variety, from Anansi to Puck as well as various Olympian gods, and made for a fun read.  Granted, not all the characters were particularly likable but that's part of what made this complex and creative read so compelling.I must admit that as a dedicated cat lover I was particularly partial to this book as I truly enjoyed the relationship between Jeremiah and his large Savannah cat Orlin.  You could feel the genuine affection between the characters and it added immeasurably to the story.This well written volume is the adult alternative to Rick Riordan's Heroes of Olympus series and is truly a solid, entertaining read which I highly recommend.
