This one sucked me right in. I don't think I could do the plot justice. Suffice to say that he holds together diverse plots excellently. There's both a lot of action and a lot of thought. The only problem I have is that it almost feels like women are added as afterthoughts. This isn't as obvious as it is in many other books, and you might not notice it if you're not looking for it.

I enjoyed Ilium so much that I wasn't able to wait for Olympos (the sequel) to become available and bought it yesterday for full price at Barnes & Noble. I'm 176 pages into that one as I write this review...
