The Lightning Thief - American Gods
Neil Gaiman is a popular author of fantasy books. His books often are set in our world, but his characters are not like us. Gaiman reimagines mythological icons, with many of his heroes possessing magical abilities or in the case of this book, claiming to be former gods. Like The Lightning Thief, American Gods follows demigods and gods walking among mortals in a journey across the United States. Darker and just as brilliant, American Gods is the perfect transition from the YA shelves to the fantasy genre for adults.
