About this listen

Aegis is back! But are the Paragons no more?

Fresh off a summer vacation to remember, Hugo resumes his role protecting the city of San Miguel. As a teen hero trying to make his way through a dangerous world, he's been forced to reflect on the impact he's making around him while juggling his ambitions and romances with his growing responsibilities as Aegis.

On top of all that, Hugo and his friends are now on the cusp of adulthood starting their senior year of high school.

However, the scars from Damocles's reign of terror have not fully healed, with countless superheroes across America hanging up their capes for good. Hugo is also haunted by mistakes of the past, uncertain if he should continue leading the Paragons or even keep the team together.

But that doubt could prove fatal when a new threat emerges. One that wants absolute power at all costs and will slaughter any superhero who stands in their way.

That leaves Hugo with one choice. Rebuild the Paragons and be Big Damn Superheroes. If he doesn't, all of California will suffer.

Join the fight in The Greater Good, book nine of the bestselling Pantheon Saga.

Good to but focused to much on the relationships and not enough of the superhero identitys. Could use more of the action to.

Not to bad

Love it I wish they came out with the next books faster every single one of them keeps ending on a massive cliffhanger

Definitely one of is not the best series that I have listened to

Overall this was a decent read, however, it felt more like one long epilogue. There wasn’t really a big villain to fight or anything major to resolve. The characters were reintroduced and focus was given to what they are doing now. Overall the story sets up multiple threads to be followed later which was nice, but as many side stories they could almost have been brought up in dialogue and this could have been skipped.

Good Read Though Unfocused

The addition of a cult was dope! Honestly, after the last book I thought you were done with this series. I knew there were unresolved issues, and should have see this coming. I welcome the new turn of events, and can’t wait for the next installment! Thank you!

Great story as always!

I really wanted to completely love this book. I found myself feeling like the whole book was a setup for a bigger story arc. This book was like an appetizer but you never get to the main meal before it ends. Cliffhangers? Kinda, yeah.

A minor critique: I would like to see a fewer lines from the earlier books in the series. -Don't get me wrong, I love Ekeke's work and I adore his cast of characters. That being said, I can only hear " textbook superhero landing" or "perfect superhero landing" so many times, before I start to wonder if he was just tired of describing the landings. This is just an example, but there seemed to be some other Ekeke cliches scattered throughout that felt too familiar. -How many times are Bree or Jen going to be nearly fainting from mere contact with Hugo?

I honestly don't like Bree, but I think she's so detestable because Ekeke is setting us up for the moment when she is either killed off or Hugo finally breaks up with her permanently. I think it would be better if she didnt go dark again like she used to be. Hugo is blind to her awfulness and it seems unlikely given how vigilant and self aware he is all the time.

There is a significant amount of text spent on establishing the fact that Hugo loves Jen and Bree ridiculously. It felt like it was a little bit too much of a focal point.

Again, don't get me wrong, I love this book series, and I really want the series to continue. I suppose I'm just struggling because Hugo has it all, and everything seems to be going near perfectly for him with very few bumps along the way. He gets challenged, but always seems to overcome and/or bounce back. I'm truly hoping that something awful happens and he experiences a terrible amount of sacrifice and loss. I'm not a sadist, but I really feel like it's all too easy for him at this point.

If I'm being perfectly honest, it bothers me how overpowered Hugo is. He has a ridiculous power set, unmatched by any. I think it would be good if he was forced to give up certain powers in order to keep others. I'm not sure how that would come to pass... maybe a magical binding spell or curse or something.

I'm not an author.

I really enjoy this series. Watching the characters grow in power and mature as people have been two of the most appealing elements of these books. However, in this story there is some backsliding and way too many slow spots. Lots of drama that should be behind them resurfaces. Also,

The final FIVE HOURS are all drama and chatter. There is another action event that occurs near the final 45 minutes and lasts for maybe 20. I kept asking myself, is this what the rest of the book will be? There’s no way there will be almost 6 hours of just talk, right? Well, that is indeed what happens.

If we are going to invest over 21 hours into a book, shouldn’t they be worth our time?

Good Overall, but Too Much Fill

In all seriousness it’s a good book, but I hate how they ignore a clear nod to Azeroth in the starry void church and I personally don’t like the poly relationship it’s a off putting and Bri is just a horrible person you can tell I hate her with Hugo but again still a good book so far!

She’s 62 you freak lmao😭😭

I don’t normally write reviews so here goes. The story feels more like a filler episode. It has Way too much teen sex drama!! Who cares about Polyamory relationships. Is this the TLC network. The story could’ve been much better if it stuck to the heroing! Less on who’s sleeping with who. Spoiler alert everybody is doing the deeds especially the females. Focus on Hugo’s side missions, sentinels past to redemption, lady liberty etc. I wonder what the author was thinking going in this direction, it seems after Damocles the story lost its way. Please get back on track! No more teen p! We want action!

What happened?

I don't think I've ever hated a character as much as I hate Bri. She is a terrible person and worsens the life of everyone around her. About half way through the book I began skipping every scene she featured in and not only did it not hurt the story, it actively made it better.

Good book overall, author just needs to get rid of this awful character.

Why is Bri even still in this story?
