My Comments: A fun book to read and is better than I had anticipated. I like the structure and background that the plot is based on although I guess its something that is a bit overdone. Mythological monsters are still surviving but are in hiding and there is a society that devotes to hiding them, with an opponent that sets out to reveal them. Anyway this book is really good and was interesting enough for the whole way although the plot was a bit weak and straightforward, so there isn’t much here that can surprise you. It gets more exciting towards the end and you tend to end up rushing to finish it, the title wasn't really relevant to the content, it was just more of a passing event than something that the book revolves around in, so I would have liked a better title (very nitpicky here). It would have been nice to see more mythological creatures and their powers, but it is a series worth reading.
Rating: 7.5/10
