recommended for: people who compulsively finish series
Olympos is the conclusion to the story started in Ilium. It ties up a lot of loose ends, fills out the backstory, and tells the continuing story of the Trojan War and the Greek gods as well as many others.
I had a long review written explaining my rating, but it boils down to this: I couldn't put Ilium down. By the time I was halfway through, I was sneaking time at work and staying up until my eyes were bleary to see what happened next.
Olympos? Well, I worked on it here and there, and plugged away until I was finished. I can't say that it was boring, or that it was so awful that I wanted to throw the book away, but I read Ilium,Ilium is a favorite book of mine, and Olympos is no Ilium.
