I love that P.C. Cast makes a reference to Wilbur Smith's books. It made me smile this morning and it was a good way to begin my day. I enjoyed the book, but it wasn't as interesting to me as the previous ones. Apollo and Hades appeal to me more than the Minotaur. While I am intrigued by the Minotaur, I think it's the fact that throughout the previous books the reader has been able to connect more with the male character since she provides you with scenes from their perspective. While it happens in this book, it does not happen as frequently; so, while the reader enjoys him, it is harder to feel a connection to him.
