Better with each book!
I wasn't when I began this series, but I am glad I stuck through the first book. Now, each book keeps getting better as the MC and other major characters (alternate MCs?) continue to grow and develop. Great series and glad to have so many more to go!

Excellent follow up
A nice follow-up to the TITAN MYSTERY. This continues the story of analyzing a world of heroes where fame, corporations, and money dictate superhero popularity like The Boys but don't control it. The heroes here are genuinely good people but there's people who are corrupted and destroyed by events.Hugo continues to try to be the guy who wants to be a big hero but he isn't quite capable of pulling it off even as he's become "cool" thanks to being a superhuman body with an aloof attitude. Greyson is half-insane and then he's washed up on a nation similar to Genosha from the X-men. Lots of gladiator and Rome references too. There's also a Lindsay Lohan-esque superheroine trying to make a comeback with some shady sponsors. It's dark but I very much enjoyed it.

Great superhero story
I got smitten after reading the first on this installament and i am glad the writing still holds a high standard. As a story about superheroes it is remarkable sober and realistic when it comes to the life and struggles of the main caracters. I like the build up as our heroes and foes find their footing in a world where superpowers are normal and it isnt easy to.say who is what in this drama as all caracters have their problems and depths. This third was also a great read and i look forward to the next book, i give it a strong 4, a 5 i hold very high so don't be alarmed, this is very entertaining

Super fun story, but...
I have thoroughly enjoyed these stories, their twists and turns, mind bending character developments, BUT I am constantly irritated with the litany of grammatical flubs. They are ok-ish in dialogue, but not in narrative. Also, it's one thing to quote a movie line in dialogue context, but to rip off two movie scenes in the same chapter was a bit egregious. Spoiler alert: I am referring to the Aegis /Mr. Quiet battle where Aegis does his best Neo (Matrix) Imitation with the liger and then channels Batman (Batman Begins) before finishing Mr. Quiet.CCE has a real talent for story telling, but could use a boost in editorial quality.None of my complaining is cause to stay away from the Pantheon Saga. It is a fun and engaging read that reaches into the heart of the characters and the readers alike.Oh, and stay clear of ripping off Super man's tag line. Up up and away?? Too much.Respect,RW

Excellent storytelling
Ekeke does a wonderful job developing their characters and connecting them into a cohesive and engaging whole! This series is worth the read.

decent superhero fiction
Was okay. He blatantly stole Hugo's bomberman plot line directly from "Invincible", and he also stole the reporters plot from a few episodes of batman the animated series. The Greyson sub plot is starting to bear fruit, Otherwise this feels like a more grounded episode of young justice. Wished he was a bit more original with his characters and stories, but like the Simpsons and twilight zone, it's all been done before.

Solid superhero storytelling
I'm becoming a huge fan of this world, these characters, and just this fresh take on superhero fiction. Great work Mr. Ekeke.

Wow, wow, wow!!!! Let’s make a comic book and sell the rights!
CC kills it!Pros:-Great character development.-Great character evolution.-Awesome multi-ethnic, multi racial cast-Brilliant use of POV from three different characters perspective to then converge on one finality-Realistic people and family interactions-Great emotional balance of characters and solid psychological dilemmas of choosing a first responder life.Cons:-while sticking with the tropes the covers of the books put me off-the first book was slow moving, so for the adventure reader the world building takes time-Not comfortable about the teenage love triangles and “pseudo” Harem developments among kids, while tempered with an emotional component glanced through those sections.In the end his inspirations for writing - read the Author Notes— are solid and he delivers on a new super mythology that can easily be picked up and turned into multiple films and be engaging. Maybe the “Rock” has a little brother that can play Hugo.Solid performance and deserves 10 stars

I’m falling in love with a book!?!
Not every book is perfect, and this book is no exception, but I still love its strong storyline, main characters - especially the foreshadowing and suspense the writer creates.
