Maybe a 3.5...so far I feel this was the weakest in the series. The African mythology just didn't click with me as much as the other mythologies. ( )

Kinda fun fluff, kinda... less than fun. I'm either way on this series now. ( )

Yawn. Boring. Besides one scene in the real world, no plot actually progresses in this book. They weren't at Egypt when they started this book and they still aren't at Egypt when they finish. In the meantime they meet some people who all die, and waste some time dicking around with a "We're Americans rah rah!" speech that is clearly a plot hole in the service of needing ACTION TO HAPPEN.

You can comfortably skip this one without missing anything in the series. ( )

I must say I was quite surprised by this little YA fantasy novel. I quickly found myself fascinated by the world Applegate has created from the very beginning (well, page 10 to be exact!) These Everworld books take place in an alternate universe (called Everworld, of course) that was created by all the ancient gods. As humanity became less and less superstitious the gods decided to abandon them and collectively create a world of their own. This gives the author the ability to incorporate all kinds of cool ancient myths in her stories. If that isn't interesting enough, this universe is being invaded by aliens. At first I thought it was a bit of a stretch, but the aliens come with their own mythology, so you get a nice blend of well-known, traditional myths alongside this unique alien mythology.

I actually really like the setting of this book. Unfortunately, the dialogue and plot are definitely lacking. It's obvious that the book is intended for a younger audience, so they didn't really appeal to me. However, I was intrigued enough by the world to still enjoy the experience. Anyone who reads and likes YA fantasy (or has a child who likes it) should definitely look into this series. ( )

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. ( )

Everworld is a universe created separate and apart from our own, by the gods of myth. I guess they felt things were going badly in what they call the old world and we call the real world. So they invented their own little universe. They hauled a bunch of people along with them: the necessary toadies and victims without whom no god ever feels complete. Odin, Zeus, Jupiter, the Daghdha, Quetzalcoatl, and who knows who else all made peace for as long as it took to unite their powers and invent this place.
