I love gaming and mythology, and this sounds kinda like a Ready Player One/Percy Jackson (though I assume not as teenager-y) combo. Now I really wanna read it, hahaha, shame about the plothole and all that. Might check it out anyway though..

Great review! I don't think this one is for me, although there are some interesting ideas, combining mythology with a sort of dystopia, and all that. thanks for the review!

The idea of putting together video games with mythology is right up my ally! I think I will enjoy these books very much!

Sounds like a lot going on, but that is to be expected with a three-book trilogy.
Thanks for sharing your review!

Nice, insightful review! When I heard the word physics, my eyes glazed over. Still, the trilogy looks interesting for readers who like sci-fi and mythology. I am glad you enjoyed the books despite the errors and plot hole. What a great price for the set!

Great review. Congratulations on being BOTD!! I'm not a gamer but enjoy books on mythology so I will be seriously thinking about picking up this book especially since its 3 books for .99 great deal.

Great review! I'm very curious about anything involving mythology. There's a unique twist, too, since the hero is reincarnated as a living software and fights will be in virtual arenas. The writing errors are a little disappointing but I would definitely give this book a shot. So much to look forward to!

Great job on the review! The concept of this story sounds very unique. I'm not much of a gamer so I'm not sure how much I'd enjoy reading it, but I'm sure others will. :)

I looked at this series for the book of the day. Normally, I wouldn't look twice at them, but the title piqued my interest. After reading this review, I figure I might as well give it a try. Thanks for helping make up my mind.

I downloaded Aes some time ago, and I have been enjoying the read. Based on the review, I'm unsure whether to continue the trilogy, but I will support Mr. Kennedy's selection as the latest BOTD author. Congratulations, sir!

"What does it mean to be human"... Sounds like an interesting book, although I'm not very interested in physics. Thank You for the honest & well written review! ☺
