Now, the app is different in that you also get to create a character that is either male or female. In fact there are other arbitrary decisions that Riordan makes for Zane that app users are free to make. Right away one of the obvious changes from the app version is that Zane apparently doesn’t select a favorite god/godess in the narrative, and you don't get to pick the object that Zayne picks when he meets Mnemosyne in the library. ![]() Much of the freedom of choice is constrained by the fact that Riordan creates the protagonist for you, unsurprisingly a male protagonist by the name of Zane Carver (I really wish he would have created a female protagonist, but that’s just my personal preference). The app allows about five choices per chapter, but the ebook gives you about two choices and then a link that says “do the thing” (whatever that thing happens to be, like for example there’s one where you have no other choice other than to put on the ring you pick up in the third chapter, don’t do it Frodo). But you’re better off shelling out the $2.99 for the last chapter rather than shelling out an additional $6.99, or whatever your ebook retailer of choice charges.Īnother difference is that you don’t really get to make as many choices in the ebook version. Is waiting going to be a pain in the ass? Yes. It’s not worth shelling out the extra money. However, with the ebook released, it would be prudent for app users to have the satisfaction of finishing the journey that they started over a year ago. To be honest, for what readers are given in the ebook in terms of being able to "pick their adventure", they're being robbed blind for being given so little choice. Now granted, it would be another $2.99 through the app and I, probably against my better judgement, shelled out $6.99 for the ebook on Google Play (although it wasn’t the $8.99 that Google Play is going to regularly charge, I think?). Although, for something that was written for people who don’t have the app, it’s a little confusing why Rick Riordan hasn’t released the final chapter, “My Personal Zombie Apocalypse” for the app, when he had the whole story released for ebook form. My understanding is that this was written for people who don’t have the app. ![]() Overall, I pretty much hated it, and did not enjoy it one bit Why'd I rate this 2 stars, technically, 1.5 stars?īecause, I didn't like it at all, it was kinda boring, and SUPER HARD to understand, plus, Zane's godly parent is ATHENA, SERIOUSLY! There weren't really anymore characters except, like a few gods, and a person here and there, BUT SERIOUSLY WHO MAKES A BOOK WITH LIKE 2 CHARACTERS, WHILE THE OTHER JUST APPEAR IN 2 PAGES OR SOMETHING! Sam was cool, I guess (I don't really have any thoughts on him) Well, technically I was Zane, so I guess he was okay, cause I was him, (THIS IS SUPER CONFUSING) The Writing, WAS TERRIBLE, I DIDN'T LIKE IT AT ALL, I MEAN, I DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING MOST OF THE TIME! Plus there was a lot of stuff that got repeated especially, when I had to choose what happens next, it was just super confusing, and I was disappointed, in it. The plot was terrible, something happened, and then later, something else happened, I could barley understand what was happening half the time. Demigods of Olympus: An Interactive Adventure, apparently a standalone, I read it cause, it was a book by Rick Riordan, and well I love Rick Riordan's books, except THIS ONE! ![]()
