Kinda fun fluff, kind of a recovery book for the previous one, which seriously had me considering dropping the series. ( )

This is the best Everworld book in the series so far. The protagonists have agency, make smart decisions, and there is a real sense of progress along the bigger plot arc. Nice! ( )

A truly brilliant take on mythology. For anyone who has ever been a fan of the religions of yore you'll be enthralled with Applegate's world of aliens and gods. My favorite series when it first came out and still one of my favorite series. The beginning of the first book is a bit difficult to get into, but once you get past that it is simply phenomenal. Applegate creates an entire world within Everworld while drawing enough from our own world so as not to entirely alienate or confuse the audience. ( )
