The Younger Gods by Michael R. Underwood

I enjoyed this book, but I loved the ending. I won't give anything away here, but suffice to say that Underwood turns the entire book on its head in such a way that makes absolutely perfect sense.

The main character, Jake, however, is massively annoying. I understand where the author is coming from in giving him such a distinctive voice, but at times its a step too far. The rest of the characters give a little more diversity to the proceedings, but I'm hoping in the following books, that Jake is toned down slightly, and the secondary characters fleshed out to more than just friends with slightly different abilities.

There's certainly enough about this book to make me interested in the next one in the series, but a few issues to be addressed.
