I enjoyed the book as much as the first one and look forward to the third one. Plenty of action and brave, resourceful teenagers. ( )

I both enjoyed and was annoyed by this book. For plot and intrigue, I give it a thumbs up. For characterization and writing style, I give it a thumbs down. The story itself kept me interested, and I sped through it. Evans has some interesting ideas involving the electric powers and how they can be used by both sides (though there are some aspects I'm not sure are completely thought out—for example, if Zeus's electric powers are sapped, wouldn't water not affect him so much? How does Ian's echolocation allow him to read printed text?).

However, the group of hero teens generally fall into two categories—the boys are strong, alpha males who just want to flirt and smash. The girls are silly creatures that think fluffy animals are cute (except for the rats). The only exceptions to these stereotypes are Michael himself and his best friend Ostin. And then there's the bad guy, who makes me feel like Evans did a study in how to do one better on the evils of Nazi Germany. The things they do are just over the top evil, it's disturbing. As for the writing, I hate to say it, but it made me feel like I was reading my own early attempts at writing as a 12-year-old. I rolled my eyes several times at the immaturity. I know this is written for a younger audience, but that doesn't mean it has to be quite so silly.

In the end, though I wrote down several notes of things that bothered me, I look back and mostly see an exciting, fast-paced book (which might be interesting, since I've read several reviews that say this book was slower than the first). While the downsides are the kind of thing that I don't expect to get any better in future books, as long as the good parts are still there, I look forward to seeing where the story goes from here.

Eh, it was okay. I just feel that the writing could have been a little less geared towards juveniles. Plot and characters are great, it's just the way it's done bugs me a bit. ( )

Such a mediocre, derivative book with stereotyped characters:

The hyper-intelligent nerd who knows about every topic
The misunderstood bully-jock
The dumb but tough cheerleader

And lightning rats? Really? Someone has been watching too much Pokemon. ( )
