The Pantheon Saga #4
Gods of Wrath
* Duration: 17 hours and 6 minutes *
Not all heroes wear capes and uniforms…or see themselves becoming the villain.
As his sophomore year wraps up, Hugo Malalou - aka Aegis - is living his best life. He’s working with Lady Liberty to protect San Miguel, acing all his classes, and casually dating three insanely hot girls. Until one routine night patrol nearly gets him killed.
Before long, he’s pulled into a dangerous pursuit that isolates him from his friends, while his list of enemies keeps growing. And when he becomes the city’s last defense against an all-powerful adversary, he’ll find himself in the fight of his life.
Quinn partners with Hugo to expose Paxton-Brandt’s unethical research on super-humans. But the multinational’s scorched-earth response leaves everyone she loves caught in the blast radius. Can she prevail and topple Paxton-Brandt or is this another example of Too Big to Fail?
Meanwhile, Greyson begins his crusade to purge the world of superheroes. But his first target proves to be more than his match in power and purpose. And when a specter from his past makes their presence felt, Greyson’s mission might end before it even starts.
PLEASE NOTE: This novel contains profanity, open relationships and ass-kicking superhero action. If you’re looking for reasons to be offended by profanity, open relationships or ass-kicking superhero action, this novel might not be for you.

The Pantheon Saga is one of the maybe three best superhero series out there (right up there with Arsenal and Wearing The Cape), and this installment is every bit as good as the other volumes. Highly recommended.

Great book, great story
Being a Central Coast local and growing up in Arroyo Grande I LOVE reading this series. I enjoy the alternate reality of a mega city here, though I'm Very glad its not real. This bookwas like strapping into an emotional Rollercoaster upside down, on fire, with a broken seat belt, bubblegum, and a glass of water. I had to put it down sometimes just to take a breath.

Hugo the stud
Very enjoyable. A lot of action. A lot of drama. Hugo playing the field was amusing. Trying to follow in Titan’s footsteps. Hugo has so many girlfriends I couldn’t keep track.
Again the story focuses on Hugo, Greyson and Quinn. Hugo and Quinn intertwined while Greyson was somewhere else. I won’t get into details. Way to many anyways. I had trouble keeping up. It was action, twists, revelations and soap operas all rolled onto one. Hugo is Superman like and fights the Elite. A bunch of false Gods who are as tough as he is. The Vanguard another team, falls apart at the seams. It’s up to Hugo to protect San Miguel. You will just have to read it. This was paced very well. Some slow spots some fast spots some intense spots. Balanced very well.
The next one will be Hugo vs Greyson for the heavyweight championship of the world. Looking quite forward to it. Plus J-Tom becomes Iron Woman with one of Dynamo’s armor. Can’t wait to see her superhero day view. As for Breseis? I’m glad she is back in the picture. Hugo really is a stud as he juggled more woman than Casanova ever did. This was the best one so far out of the four. Can’t wait for book five.

Basically an Arrowverse tale
When this isn't a CW teen drama with the worst and most oversexed teens I've ever read, it's a pretty decent read. All the hero's in this world are kinda the worse. Ekeke's idea of a hero is kinda nebulous, giving us great examples, then instantly deconstructing them a few paragraphs later. It's a very cynical look at the idea of supers in a grounded world. I hope Hugo doesn't get any worse than he already has become, he's the definition of a male power fantasy and I'm hoping he becomes a bit more relatable in the next outing.

Not a 5
I'm not in the correct age-group to really appreciate YA, so I could never give a five for the book. Teens might as well as those who like constant referrals about what race a person is. This story and the previous books will undoubtedly be turned into the new Superman movie/S or Marvel Comics will buy the screen rights. In TV his me-too era and black rights matter I have no doughty it will do well.

I absolutely love the story, but there are a lot of grammatical errors. For example, an entire line was repeated twice or using 'she' pronoun instead of 'he' when describing a man. It can be jarring to come across these type of major errors, and this author has A LOT littered throughout his series. If he hired an editor, this book would, in my opinion, be 5 stars.

Bottom line is this is a fun series, which I didn't expect when I picked up the first book in the series. It's been a series of 3 storylines, but here is where the real Hugo emerges as a superhero. The fifth and final in the series comes out at the end of the month, and I'm really looking forward to it.

This is just a classic train wreck you have to watch.
That is entirely content, not writing. A whole lot of powerful people making idiotic choices over and over. The amount of self deception would be astounding if it were not so realistic. The writing stays away from melodramatic and stays in the "just horribly messed up in the head" range.

I'm definitely tired of the harem aspect but wow if this wasn't the best installation in the series. C.C. Ekeke did an excellent job with connecting preplaced threads and developing the series in interesting ways. The fights remain interesting, and Hugo's growth has been great. Grayson had his moments of annoyance as a character but has definitely grown on me.

Great installment
If you liked the previous books expect more of the same. The character growths were great and made even the super humans seem relatable . Can't wait for the next installment.

Excellent addition to the series, lots of super action and school drama. One note, in chapter 68 or so Quinn goes from a black woman to white woman with blonde hair as the OSA agent friend strokes her hair, just saying.

Great book and series
Hogo finally growing into his power. Finding out his true origin was a kick in the pants. The battles where truly epic.

I absolutely love this world and characters! The story keeps me guessing, and continually surprises leaving me shocked! Can’t recommend this series enough, especially to fans of the super hero genre!
