Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Apollo is a bit of a sociopath. He talks about all the times he sent demigods to die in his service, murders entire cities with plague for his own amusement, and sexually harassed a dryad who wasn't interested in him until she basically committed suicide. He murdered all of Niobe's sons because she dared to compare herself to his mother. He wanted to marry his aunt Hestia and jokes that the reason he isn't married is that he can't choose between his half-sisters, the Nine Muses. He's a deadbeat dad who didn't notice his son had been dead for 75 years, until he realized one day the French Revolution was going on and suddenly cared. He almost has to guess at his living children's names. He's self-centered and expects everyone to care about his problems before their own. ...and yet, the only negative thing people can find to say about this book is that dudes happily love other dudes? That should tell you how great it is, when that's the only possible criticism. If you think Apollo being bisexual isn't appropriate for your kids, you shouldn't be letting them read Greek mythology! Greek mythology is all about sex, rape, incest, and violence, and the crazy things birthed from them. If that's not what you want your kid reading, great, but don't complain about it here like it's some surprising outage. You knew what you were getting into!
