I don't know anything about gaming, and 1200 pages is beyond ambitious, but I love mythology. Thanks for writing such an interesting and informative review!

I am not a fan of the sci-fi/fantasy genre or video games so this book is not for me. However, thank you for such a well-written review.

What an interesting premise! I do enjoy physics; but gaming, not so much. Your review is helpful. Great work!

Great review. Not that I was ever a great gamer, but I did enjoy the preview and decided to download my copy of the trilogy.

Sounds like a few really interesting concepts make up this trilogy! It's too bad about the gaping plot hole... that can really ruin a series. The plot still seems unique, the mix of mythology and gaming seems very different than anything I've ever read before.

This sounds like a very unique trilogy. I like the combination of gaming, physics, and mythology, I don't think I've read anything like that before. Great job on the review!

Great review. I love a good Sci-fi/fantasy read and have always enjoyed mythology. I was hesitant to try these books out though because I'm not really a gamer. Your review helped me decide to give it a try despite the writing errors, which are a huge sore spot for me, but since you said gamers and non-gamers alike can get into these books, I'm hoping that I will really enjoy them. Thanks so much for sharing.

I always enjoyed Greek Mythology when I was in high school, never imagined that it could be combined with gaming. But stranger things have been written about. Nice review!

Sounds great, but i wish the story wasnt so simple, you would expect that to be better in a trylogy

I think this is a very unique concept. It's nice that the mythology was well-researched. This seems like an interesting series.

The mythology of it sounds interesting. I just hope the physics side isn't too far over my head. Great review!

Not into the gamer thing so I probably won't read this one. The review was informative and covered the book well. Thanks for the insight ?
