In Book 3 of Mark Knowles' Blades of Bronze saga, we come upon the Argonauts many decades after their legendary voyage, at a time when their glory days seem well behind them. Now, they are scattered across the land, a shadow of their former selves.

But they are not the only ones facing this situation. It is said that the Age of Heroes is over, and that dark times lie ahead. Amidst this landscape of doom, gloom and crumbling kingdoms, will any saviour come forth to show that there is yet time for another hero's journey and a hope of redemption?

Knowles' love for and knowledge of mythology shine through in his storytelling. The writing style was not always to my taste, but there is no doubting his mastery over his subject. I think most people who are interested in the Greek myths will find something here to enjoy.

"Hades" is a captivating journey into the realm of mythology that I thoroughly enjoyed. The author skillfully weaves together mythological themes, history, and a compelling narrative in a way that keeps the reader utterly engaged.

What truly stands out in this book is the author's ability to introduce us to the rich tapestry of history and myth. The storytelling is not only informative but also incredibly immersive. The way the author brings these ancient tales to life is nothing short of remarkable.

The writing style is elegant and evocative, making it easy to become lost in the world of gods, heroes, and legendary creatures. It beautifully captures the essence of the myths and the awe-inspiring nature of the stories.

Overall, "Hades" is a book that seamlessly blends mythology, history, and captivating storytelling. I was entranced by the mythological themes, the way the author introduces us to history and myth, and the exquisite writing style. It's a must-read for anyone who appreciates the timeless allure of mythology.

I am not some really good greek mythology geek. When I read the description, it seemed intriguing but the first few pages completely threw me off. still, i thought of giving the books a chance but reading the things and being like 10 % in I was so disinterested I could not continue. The story did not really have a direction or maybe I didnt read enough to find out. The book in short was not my cup of tea.
