The book has a large cast and it wasn’t until I physically mapped out the characters and how they are related did it start to make sense. The first 10% was painful for me to get through. Second novels are hard, and middle volumes of a trilogy even harder as you need to advance the story in a satisfactory way, yet leave the larger plot unresolved. Even more challenging for Knowles, the various Jason legends say very little about the Argonauts'' return journey.

I found 'Jason' to be worse than the first book in the series, 'Argo'. This has to do with the point in which the story starts and ends. Returning to Iolkos from Colchis is a relatively dry business compared to getting to Colchis and stealing the golden fleece. There is a degree of anticlimax that is difficult to deal with, and that is clear by the fact that Knowles keeps adding battles for the sake of having some excitement for the reader. This is also clear by the shorter length of this book compared to 'Argo', something positive, given 'Argo' was far too long, but also telling of the issues with the story. So, mixed feelings. I wanted to walk away with more than I have. . .most likely a me problem. I was a little dismayed to discover I'd started in the middle of a series, rather than at the beginning. Ah well. I will continue to find reads that tell, retell and reimagine Jason's adventures. The shift to Pelius as well as Elesius in various chapters proved to be confusing in and of itself as well. I understand the storyline of Elesius but didn’t feel I could strongly connect that to Jason’s story.
