Oh dear. I've come so far but finishing has become quite a chore. I don't care about any of the 1 dimensional, boring, entitled characters and it seems there will be no consequences for what they have done, and there are no exciting Ancient Greek secret classes at all. Not a lot is happening. I feel like the entire book is false advertising.

So it"s the author reading the book. Oh dear. Also only 50 %???? This book is very very very slow. It feels like I have just listened for 12 hours for something to finally happen and I can't imagine there could possibly be another 50% more story to go. Horrible, unbelievable characters. The mystery of this book is why it is so incredibly popular. But I do like the writing I suppose or I would have given up long ago.

I have an issue with the audio book narrator being a woman who is reading for the first person male character. It is an odd choice and she is incapable of maintaining anything like a male voice for more than half a sentence. She is also doing the most idiotic voice for another male character who she has sounding like Bugs Bunny. OMG it's hideous torture to my ears.
