Unfortunately, I must say that I am disappointed. The book was superficial and unexciting. It's in no way comparable to his books in Swords of Power series, which I would characterize oppositely.
young man becomes avatar of Apollo in conflcit with Hades, poorly written
take the sword books & change names and circumstances & you have roughly the same thing.
