There has been a devastating clash between the Titans and the Olympians and now Poseidon is on a quest, riding on a majestic Hippocampus. He rides, not just through space, but through time and meets with Cleito, a woman with whom he shares a family connection, but it is with Poseidon's help that she will learn more about her parents and the role they'll play in Poseidon's future.

Meeting with space travelers, the Kyrie, Poseidon learns about the genetic engineering advanced alien races played in creating advanced humans and human hybrids. Then Poseidon meets up with Lucas, a mystical traveler who follows a spiritual path of love and serenity.

Mythical gods, especially Greek gods, are still hugely popular and it's no surprise that authors and publishers are still pumping out fiction for eager readers. And school-aged kids still are eager readers for modern tellings of classic myths.

I do have a couple of issues with this particular book, however. First, it's a little too ambitious. In only 166 pages we rush through what is essentially three novels' worth of story: the meeting with Cleito, the Kyrie, and Lucas each should be one short novel.

There's also something kind of ... odd ... about the Olympian Poseidon meeting up with space travelers who may have influenced humanity. Where does this come from?!


Kyrie explained: "The arrival of the Galactic Federation and Mystical Travelers on your planet was a response to the Anunnaki's disregard for the world, resources, and human hybrids. to correct the negative results of how they use human hybrids, the Federation wanted to bring peace and well-being."

Poseidon listened in shock as the star woman described what the Annunaki had done. He could believe that they had created two kind of hybrids: some, like his family, the Greek gods with superhuman abilities, and others meant to be nothing more than slaves. ...


As I say, it's just odd. There's really no reason for our central figure to be Poseidon other than to capitalize on the interest in mythology.

The entire Lucas/Mystical Traveler scenario is just too 'out there' for me. I love a good existential story, but maybe not in a middle grade reader featuring Poseidon.

One of the reasons that this book is so short (page-wise) despite the 'heaviness' of story is that it is 'told' rather than shown. We're not brought into the story, but instead our narrator is telling us everything and we get big info dump chunks (such as the above beginning with "Kyrie explained").

Looking for a good book? I would not have requested Grace Blair's Poseidon's Atlantis Adventure if I hadn't hoped to really enjoy it, but this just doesn't live up to expectations and I can't really recommend it to young (or mature) readers.

I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher, through Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.

I love all things mythical, so ofcourse I wanted to read this book. I loved the other view on the mythology and I enjoyed the story.
It is a rather short book though, but it felt like it could have been longer. I thought the ending felt rushed. I would have loved to read more.

The book invites readers on a mesmerizing journey through time and mythology, where Poseidon, overshadowed by his brother Zeus, embarks on a celestial quest riding a majestic Hippocampus. Alongside the young woman Cleito, Poseidon uncovers the secrets of her utopian paradise and grapples with ethical dilemmas surrounding genetic engineering and human hybrids. With the guidance of celestial envoy Kyrie and Mystical Traveler Lucas, Poseidon explores cosmic love and the soul's quest for serenity, weaving together themes of mythology, spirituality, and moral introspection. This immersive adventure offers a captivating blend of ancient lore and futuristic exploration, sure to enthrall fans of mythological fiction and philosophical inquiry.

Poseidon review


Poseidon and his siblings, Hera, Hades, Demeter and Hestia, wake up in tombs in Tartarus. Not knowing how to get out, they travel through Tartarus trying to find an exit. While traveling through Tartarus, they come upon a few sleeping monsters. As they are (quietly) trying to sneak past these creatures, they see a tall youth. This youth lets them know he is their brother, Zeus. Zeus explains what happened to them and why they’re in Tartarus. He tells them they each have individual talents and when they escape Tartarus, he will help them figure out which gift they possess. Teaming up with those monsters (their uncles) they defeat Campe, the guard of the exit out of Tartarus, and escape Tartarus. Ten years later, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades are given gifts from these three uncles who helped them escape Tartarus. Zeus a lightning bolt, Poseidon a trident, and Hades a bident. These gifts are to help them to defeat their father, Cronus. Poseidon became god of the seas and waters. Hades became lord of the underworld. Zeus became god of the heavens and skies as well as the king of all gods. Poseidon was not happy that his brother, Zeus became king of all gods when they all fought together, and as thus, in his mind at least, should rule together.

Fast forward a few thousand years and Poseidon feels lost and forgotten in the changing world. From there he starts his adventure to Atlantis.

This book sounds SUPER interesting. However, there’s so much going on, it’s really easy to get lost. It’s also super short for what it’s trying to do. It’s a fun read and very enjoyable if you don’t get lost reading it. Imagine Star Trek, with freak gods and a certain German dictator as one of the villains trying to have purity in this world. All in all, if you can trudge through, and follow along with everything, you’ll probably enjoy this. 3.5 stars

In Grace Blair's latest fantastical fiction, Poseidon's Atlantis Adventure (2023), Book 1 of the Atlantis Book Series, Poseidon and the Titans have been entombed most of their lives by their father, Cronus, who considers them a threat to his leadership of the gods. Poseidon and his brother Hades create an alliance with the one brother who wasn't relegated to prison--Zeus. In a fiery battle, they kill Cronus and gain their freedom. As victors, Hades is awarded Lord of the Underworld, Zeus the skies and the land, and Poseidon the seas. This works for a while, but Poseidon tires of being relegated to the underwater realm, without access to land and sun, and seeks a plan to change his destiny. That, of course, involves Atlantis. In his quest to redefine his future, Poseidon finds himself in an unlikely alliance with another extraterrestrial being who promises him the power he wants in return for his aid stopping the evil forces that threaten the world. But, is the godly power of Poseidon enough to stop those who fight against him. Even he doesn’t know that answer.

This is a clever twist on the Olympian gods providing a peek into what could be if each of the gods didn’t remain in complete control of their domains. The story is told in vivid detail as befits a tale of mythical gods and is filled with passion and action. It is highly recommended for those who love reading about the gods and fantasy.
