Finally the second book is here!!!

I enjoyed reading the first book and was waiting patiently for the second one. It's written in a way that anyone can understand. The journey of max has opened up new secrets and also hints a lot about future mysteries that are yet to b unfolded.
I would recommend the book to all thrill or adventure lovers. Even for kids it's a good novel to enter into the world of imagination and wonder beyond limits.

Refreshingly different, for here is a read that brings together everything we love about fantasy, mythology, and sheer page eating action. This books ‘take’ on the many characters and tales told in the Greek pantheon is ingenious and severely intriguing. The battle scenes in particular are to be mentioned for their wonderful ability to take you back in time and turn you into that twinkle eyed kid in complete awe. A great read for anybody looking for another great story to disappear into. I recommend reading the first book before the second…..the series has a quality of getting better with every book.
