Narrated by Kathleen Li
Summary:
Pandora has Titan powers, so after an important birthday, she’s sent off to school at Olympus Academy to learn to use those powers.
Additional Comments:
- Performance by Kathleen Li was good. I played it at 2x speed, but that’s a personal preference.
- Story 3/5: It’s typical YA fantasy. There’s an emphasis on how gorgeous the grumpy guy the MC has to train with. You can tell he’s the love interest from about the first 2 seconds of description.
- I don’t typically listen to academy fantasies, but it’s similar enough to the things it emulates (Harry Potter and Percy Jackson) to please fans of that subgenre.
- The MC’s all right. I didn’t really like her, but she’s got the sass and determination and cool powers to pass muster in the genre.
- There’s not a lot of closure at the end. This phase is done but nothing’s really solved. This is like a really long prologue to a different tale.
Conclusion:
If you are a huge fan of Harry Potter and Percy Jackson and must have something to fill in that void, give this series a chance and see if it connects with you.
