The Olympus Trinity | Brian Coggins Jr. | Book Review

Rating - 4 /5 ★★★★

My Review

I enjoy reading books that have Greek mythology and elements of it, which fascinates me. The storyline is smooth and fast, filled with plenty of twist-turns, suspense, and the thrill of new stories of myth and legends.

Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon fight together against their cruel father, Kronos, to save the one person who is the reason for their survival, and they conquer. However, when victory comes at a heavy price in terms of sacrifice and loss, grief deepens their anger and destroys the trinity's faith in one another. Many octillion years later, someone is after the Olympian gods to destroy them and their kingdom. Their attacker is not only after them but also after their family. To save each other and their families from the unknown threat, the Olympus Trinity must put aside their differences and enmity for one another; only by fighting together can they find the one who is playing this dangerous game.

Brian Coggins Jr. masterfully wrote the book and retaining the core of ancient Greek stories by renewing and rebuilding his version of a story, which is really intriguing and engaging. The descriptions of places, war, and just about everything else are so clear that I can readily envision them. In a short period of time, the author extensively recounts and mentions numerous incidents and dynamics from Greek mythology, such as Hera's hatred, Zeus's pride, their children's relationships, conquests, and infidelity. I liked reading about the three brothers' interactions, especially Poseidon's haughty and hilarious demeanor.

Wherever I read about these gods, their arrogance and egoism are prominent. And the author twists it in this book, and reading them as emotional and vulnerable is a wholly different but enjoyable experience. The best aspect, of course, is the mother-son bond, which I adore reading. The value and love of family is the central topic of this novel. And remind me whether you are ready or not to see eye-to-eye and stand side by side, but when someone else strikes the other person, you are willing to take the hit before it hurts them. It is the beauty of family. The author put every bit to make us feel that family connection.

I adore reading hefty and ancient words that expand my vocabulary and create memories that will last a lifetime when I read mythical and epic high fantasy. I didn’t have any issue searching and finding their meaning. That is why I like fantasy fiction to acquire new terms and extend my vocabulary, yet it is absent in this book. I understand the author did this to simplify and ease reading for everyone.

The Olympus Trinity is a quick, short, and thoroughly delightful book with a compelling plot. This book has a solid framework for the series and much more to come in the second book.
