This book had good balance.
There were some scenes from the good guys' pov, some from the bad guys', and some from the twins. There were enough new creatures and powers to be interesting without being overwhelming. The twins were not too dumb, and they had hobbies and interests.
The plot moved fast enough. The events were interesting.
It just did not have anything particularly unique or interesting. The writing style was bland; each character's pov sounded the same. ...more

This series is great for any kid who loves the Percy Jackson series, the Kane Cronicles or Fablehaven. They have the same feel lots of magic and running from bad magicians.
3.5 stars--It was a creative book mixing mythology with new storytelling. I felt the story was heavy on magical combat action without a lot of character development or plot development. It provided magical answers to natural and manmade disasters that were interesting.
I just finished this book and found it really interesting. I like the people it is based on, because they are real and interesting, but used for the purposes of entertaining in a fictional way. I am excited to read the second one and find out what happens. This is a fun read.
kind of annoyed by Josh... but otherwise entertaining
