I found this to be a well-researched and written story about ancient Greece laced with history and mythology. This was a well-paced story that immediately hooks you into the story and I couldn’t put it down. As a lover of Greek Mythology, I found this to be a wonderful story. I jumped into book 2 without reading book 1, but the story was detailed enough I was able to follow along, but I will be reading book 1 so I can get the full effect. I thought the character development was fantastic and Evan is definitely a hero favorite of mine. I can’t wait to read book 3 to see how the journey continues and what adventures our heroes will find.

This book is the 3rd book in the ‘Servant of the Gods’ series but can technically be read as a stand alone. There is a nice recap of the previous novels within the book.
Evan is a descendant of Zeus, he was made solely to stop the demise of the Greek deities by defeating Kronos. Kronos is dead set on destroying Olympus and all the gods who live there to become the one and only ruler.
The novel starts off with Evan and his companions on an Amazonian island, they have no recollection of why they were travelling the waters. The queen made it so the men were breeding machines to ensure her people’s survival. The queen took Evan as her consort and there seems to be a little bit of Stockholm syndrome. Evan finds out what the queen has done and is angry but can’t get her out of his mind, especially since she is pregnant with his child.
Once the men’s memories were restored they left the island and continued on to Krete where the last relic is supposed to be. It is a long journey with lots of obstacles and Evan is being tested by both the gods and Kronos. Gods are known to be fickle and Evan doesn’t know who to trust anymore. Evan just wants to go home and he will do everything he can to do so.
I really enjoyed this book. It was action packed, filled with characters from Greek mythology (which I am a fan of) and drama. I recommend reading this book 100%!

I am not a great fan of Mythical history with Greek gods, but I was amazed at this story turned out. Knowing that it was the 3rd book in Luciana Servant of the Gods series, I might have to get the 1st book to fully get into the adventure with Evan and to see what happens in the beginning.
I love fantasy books and this one hit the spot where it took greek gods to another level for me.

Minotaur’s Lair is the third and final book in the Servant of the Gods series by Luciana Cavallaro. I have really enjoyed following along on this epic fantasy series, so this final book was a little bit of a bitter-sweet read for me. On one hand I really wanted to know what happens and how everything would play out in the end. But then on the other hand, I knew this was the final and wasn’t reading to leave the adventure behind. This book proved to be another well-woven and action-packed fantasy adventure- with ancient history, intriguing mythology, gods, dramatic developments, danger, magic, the paranormal, mythical creatures, rich world building, agendas, revenge, and a few surprises. This book follows on from book two, and even though the author does a good job of ‘catching’ the reader up on what has previously transpired, there is something to be said for experiencing it all first-hand…. So, therefore, I highly recommend reading the first two books before starting on this instalment. Evan has been through quite a lot since we met him back in book one, but he’s not going to catch a break any time soon. Thrust into this adventure, Evan has been drugged and has forgotten the god’s quest. So, as you can imagine, nothing good can come from that. Set the scene for epic odyssey. It’s not only are memories and loyalties that are to be tested as all the action unfolds- and what ensues definitely makes for a captivating read. As I have mentioned before, Ms. Cavallaro’s attention to detail and obvious love of ancient history really helps to bring her story(ies) to life. She proves to have an eye for detail, and her descriptive details and snippets of history, as well as her ability to build tension really adds to the intrigue, atmosphere, and overall ‘feel’ of the story. It was so easy to be ‘in’ the story, and ‘see’ everything as it was unfolding. I can see this making a great television series. Happy Reading…

Straight off ending the second book I jumped straight on to this one. I could not wait to see where Luciana was taking this story. Minotaur’s Lair is the third and unfortunately final book in the Servant of the Gods trilogy. There is a cast of many but they feel like old friends now we are approaching the end. Imagine thrust back in tome to a world where mythological creatures and beings, gods and monsters reside. Imagine being shipwrecked without your memory of where you are and why you are there. Curses in practice, danger at every corner, enough drama to last a life time, tensions running high and palpable this and more is what you can expect in this epic mythological fantasy read. The stakes are high in this last leg of the quest to find the relics needed to stop the annihilation of the god’s an Evans way home. Luciana’s passion for all things Greek mythology shines through with this original, complex and cleverly crafted tale. I look forward to reading what comes next.

Once again myths and legends, mixed with action-packed tale, ancient mythology, mystical places, time travel, modern technology and historic events all rolled into one story, that had me once again not being able to put this book down. The drama was nonstop from the beginning all the way to the ending. The book was filled with maybe unexpected twists and turns throughout the story which really made up for an exciting read to the end. Highly recommend this story of Evans time traveling, God, myths and an amazing tale of adventure.

Once again Luciana’s passion has given us an engaging and unique story born of mythology. There is a seamless transition for readers from book one (which finished on a cliff-hanger) to this one as Luciana recaps details. The Labyrinthine Journey is another original and lovingly crafted tale from Luciana. It is woven with ancient Greek mythology giving the story much more realistic depth. This cleverly constructed fantasy tale will captivate you and make you feel like you are the one on this time travel adventure. Danger is high when Evan finds himself transported from current times back into ancient Greece in mythical times. On a quest to save the Gods Evan and his Atlanteans friends find things don’t go the way they should as they are thwarted by those opposed to the god’s survival. With a whole host of characters, mythological creatures and beings, gods and monsters this vividly rich and well-crafted and complexly woven tale draws in and is only limited by your imagination. If you like mythology and fantasy tales where the characters are believable characters then this series is for you. I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

The Labyrinthine Journey is the second book in the series by Luciana Cavallaro. I was not able to start with the first book, however, I was easily able to catch on to what was going on. You can tell there was a lot of effort put in to these characters and researching the time and place Evan is in. The book kept my interest throughout. I love mythology and this was a perfect fit. Definitely would recommend this read.

Minotaur’s Lair is the third book in the series by Luciana Cavallaro. Once again the author put great work into the details of the characters and the world they are in. This may well become a new favorite author of mine. I feel I can relate to the characters and was very invested in each book. Highly recommend this series!

When I reviewed book 2 I said that the authors creative storyline, descriptive detailed writing, wonderful characters and intriguing combination of Ancient History, Mythology and Fantasy would 100% keep you captivated from start to finish and it absolutely continues in this 3rd and final book for this truly amazing series! With such an action packed, adventure filled storyline and an ending you may well find unexpected you will cement your love of this very talented author for sure!! I know I have. From now on just seeing her name on a book will be enough for me to want to read it.

This is a fantastic and detailed story that draws you in and makes you feel like you are right there with the characters. The author has created imagery so strong that you can vividly imagine what is happening. As the final book in the trilogy this book really ends on a high. This is easily my favourite book out of all of them and I didn’t want it to end. I loved the Greek mythology element to this. It made it so much easier to engage with the book as there was a lot of information that I was already aware of. I really enjoyed going on Evan’s journey with him. He was easy to relate to, despite being a 12-year old boy. This is a fantastic series that I have loved from start to finish.

Wow where do I find the right words to review this book! I know that no matter what I say I won’t do it or the author the justice they truly deserve! I made the mistake of starting with book 2 so I will be going back to the beginning and starting again. Don’t get me wrong if like me you started with this book your enjoyment will in no way be hindered by that but let’s face it when something is so amazing why wouldn’t you make sure to read everything possible to truly enhance the experience. The Authors creative storyline with plenty of twists and turns, descriptive detailed writing, wonderful characters and intriguing combination of Ancient History, Mythology and Fantasy 100% keeps you captivated from start to finish. Personally I simply can’t wait for more. I need more Evan!!!!

This is the 3rd book in the Servant of God’s series and wow. Unfortunately for me this is where I started but i will definately be going back and reading the series from the beginning. The author’s writing is really captivating and I was hooked from the beginning. I loved the mix of historical and mythical and the danger as the different sides battle to find the last artifact. The characters are amazing written even though they are descendents from God’s they all seem like real people which makes the story fantasy but in parts believable.
Evan and his friends along with the High Priestess have been captured by the Amazon Queen. She then drugs them so they forget their God’s Quest and they settle into a life of helping the Amazons become great again. While the men do this the Queen places the High Priestess in a cell and keeps her as a prisoner. As the High Priestess’s health deteriorates the God’s try and make her see she needs to rescue herself and her Companions and complete their Quest to save the God’s and their way of life. They need to recover the last ancient relic which is hidden in the Minatours Lair.
Meanwhile the Dark Lord has almost completely his mission to overthrow the God’s and take over himself.
Can Evan escape from the Queens grasp and find the ancient relic? What happens when Evan starts to question the God’s and their plans?
This story is full of twists and turns, excitement and danger as Evan trys to escape and then continue with his quest. I can’t wait to read the series from the beginning.

This is book 3 and the final book of the trilogy. I found it quite exciting and the adventure will pull you in from the beginning. It picks up from where book 2 left off. Evan and the gang are on the Amazon warrior island. The drama kicks back off there and just doesn’t end until the very end of the book. I found the characters quite intriguing. It’s a good book for historical fiction. I did find myself wishing that the plot was a little less glitchy with transitions. In moving around the story, I felt it was a touch rocky. Overall, the drama and the characters will pull you in. The books really need to be read in order so I would start with book 1.

Book 2 of the trilogy is quite exciting. That naughty Zeus is at it just doing what he wants to get what he wants. Evan is thrown into the story and gets deep into the drama as he and the others are looking for the sacred articles to save the Gods. Are the Gods selfish much? This was an entertaining story as it gives an interesting perspective at what the Gods would do to survive a threat to their lives. I found the Gods to be quite full of themselves. The other characters were well-developed. They each played a very important role in the story. Evan is probably the most relatable character. His struggle is so real (from the modern world. Sleep disorder? Tumor?) This is where I came into this trilogy and I’m looking forward to reading book 1 to see how it began. It’s a fascinating book in the historical fiction genre.

Evan and his fellow companions are enslaved by the Amazon Queen Antioche and her warriors. The Dark Master’s victorious revenge over the gods is almost complete. The plight of the High Priestess is precarious, her health ailing, imprisoned in a dark room, and unable to rescue her brother and fellow Atlanteans.
One more sacred relic must be recovered, within the lair of the Minotaur. Evan leads his companions into the final battle against the Dark Master on the lands of mystical Krete. He must succeed in his mission so his father Zeus fulfills his pledge to return him home. Then there is Queen Antioche, and the precious gifts she presents him.
Will Evan return home, and what will become of his future?
Minotaur’s Lair is the third and final book in the action-packed Servant of the Gods historical fiction series. A must-read for all historical fantasy fiction fans, ideal for readers of Wilbur Smith, Rick Riordan and Steven Pressfield.

This book is a incredible book with authentic culture, vivid settings, ancient history, fantasy, and mythology. It took me on a quest round ancient Greece and surroundings while saving Olympian gods from being destroyed by the one god of Christianity. The characters in this book were absolutely amazing, Evan was a strong-willed leader that really made this book wonderful to read. Evan being from the 21 century, has to figure out what needs to be done when he gets transported to ancient times. This book was incredible, I absolutely loved it, and couldn’t put it down. I will say I did not read the first book to this series, but it was still easy to follow and understand that I did not feel lost, but I will be going back and reading the first one.

Cliff hanger leaves for Book 2 with no doubt in my mind. I love that this book is a combination of idea and theme of National treasure and Indiana Jones. Nik is a Highschool teacher without a worry in the world and he visits his grandfather who is mysterious. Nik is named as the next Guardian of the coin and if the coin lands in the wrong hands, evil and havoc will prevail. There is a second coin in the wrong hands so what happens if evil gets the magic of both coins? Read on and find out. This writer is amazing.
This book took me roughly a week to read and I’d rate it 5/5 stars. It was well written and engaging. The main character Nick and his grandfather were well written and relatable. This story has everything from secret rooms and magical coins to weapons and bad guys. Although it wasn’t as action packed as I was hoping and the beginning didn’t really come to fruition just yet, I look forward to reading the next book in the series. This book follows a young teacher as he learns his family history and takes upon a new role as the guardian of the coin. The dialogue and people were extremely likable and their conversation and the plot itself did not seem forced at all. Overall great quick, easy read. I’d certainly recommend it.

The Guardian’s Legacy, what fantastic first book, of what will be a great series. Fans of Dan Brown, will enjoy how the author tangles Greek mythology, ancient minted coins and modern day technology into a worthy adventure! I enjoyed meeting this generation’s Guardian, High school teacher Nik Zosimos, the author has done a great job flushing out a protagonist worthy of following into his next adventure. In book one, Nik begins his real education, learning more than he ever thought he would from his Grandfather, and before you know it we are chasing him across Europe. Can’t wait for Book Two in the Coin of Time Series by Luciana Cavallaro.

This book was so engrossing! I didn’t want to put it down! I adore the relationship between Nik and his Papou, and found it so relatable with their shared love of history, especially the history of the coin, and how they used it as a way to spend time together. The history shared in the story was fascinating and I was as captivated by it as Nik was as Papou shared. I also really love the bits and pieces the book shows of Nik’s relationships with his students. We’ve all had teachers like him, and a high school history teacher that the students clearly respect is so refreshing to see because it’s a true respect shown like it would be in real life. Nik’s trip and the people he met along the way are just another part of this book that made me not want to put it down! I can’t wait to see what happens next!

A book with it all! Mystery, intrigue, escapades, gambles, exploits and time travel!! I have to admit whenever I have been asked what superpower I would have if I could have just one … 9 times out of 10 I have said time travel. This book brings that to life and the author added such rich detail that the imagery comes into your mind so clear. Nik is a great character and so well defined it was as if I have known him for a really long time. In fact all the characters are so well outlined they all become “book friends”. Luciana Cavallaro makes you truly care about her characters and has you wanting a happy ending for them. The non stop action will have you clinging to this novel until the very end! Nik is asked to be “guardian” of an ancient coin that has a twin. The twin has yet to be found but Nik’s grandfather thinks he may know where it is and upon traveling to Europe he disappears. Nik goes after him but ends up being chased by several organizations to which he flips the coin and ends up in a different time! One of my favorite traits of an author is when they add historical, geological and mythological facts in their story that brings you something extra. This author does just that and in a way that makes these timeless stories new and blends them flawlessly with the tale she is telling. Overall this book gave me the great feels! I cannot wait to slip between the covers of book two!

The first book in the Coin of Time series by Luciana Cavallaro was a real page turner. Nik is a high school teacher who discovers a secret that his grandfather has been keeping. This book included lots of time travel, mythology, and action! A perfect book to get sucked into.

Can I just say Wow! The Guardian’s Legacy was so much fun to read and get lost into its world. If you are a big fan of mythology, history, mystery, then this book is just perfect for you. Nik our main character is tasked with becoming the guardian of an ancient mysterious coin with untold powers that his traditionally his family has protected for many, many years. In order to become the guardian and taking possession of the coin from his grandfather, Nik must train in many different defense arts and even weapons that have not been seen or used for thousands of years! How cool is that?! The mystery you ask: Where did the coin come from, who gave it to the family to safeguard, and where is Grandfather? Read the book but beware, the ending is not as it seems. Cavallaro does a wonderful job of bringing the history aspects to life and the importance of history in our world today. The characters are amazing and believable, and it was so easy to get lost in their world. Join me in reading this wonderful book and relish in the fun of ancient history and mythology.

Nik Zosimos is a history teacher in a local high school where his love of history is passed down to his students as it was passed down to him by his grandfather Iasos, over the years, they have shared many a conversation over food and wine, but when his grandfather calls him in the middle of the day and asks him to come over to his house, Nik is a little worried because it isn’t something that his grandfather would usually do. When he arrives at his grandfathers house, nothing is amiss, he is his usual healthy self and in good spirits as they enjoy a meal and some beers together, that is until his grandfather reveals something to Nik which is about to blow his whole world wide open.
As Nik leaves his grandfathers house in a state of astonishment, the first thing he does is get straight onto the internet and do some research to try and verify what his grandfather has told him, but although some things are confirmed, some of the most vital parts aren’t, but he continues to dig and even asks a colleague for some hints about where to look as well. As he researches, more of his grandfathers revelation makes sense, but now he has to make a decision as to whether he wants to find out more.
Nik takes a couple of days to think about this decision and how serious his grandfather had become while telling him the little he was able to confide in him and it set Nik, it is this and the intrigue his grandfathers words caused him which leads to his final choice. As Nik finds out more about the history of his grandfathers responsibilities and what it means for his future, he also discovers how deep the mystery truly goes and to what lengths people have gone to acquire the knowledge he now has. Will Nik be able to rise to the challenge his grandfather has set him and become the latest guardian, or will time be against him? This is a gripping story which transcends time and which you will become engrossed in the twists and turns within it as the characters themselves.

I have to admit that I have always been a sucker for a little Greek history and mythology! This book hits both of those in one action packed book! I love the detail of the Greek history that is packed into this quick and fun read. Also, the author, Luciana Cavallaro, has done an amazing job portraying the characters and you feel like you are right there with them in this adventure.
Nik visits his grandfather and loves his tales. Are they true? Are they just myths? Totally unknown to Nik, his grandfather gives him a magical coin to protect and keep safe. If it falls into the wrong hands of evil….well read and find out!!

Nik Zosimos teaches high school and leaves before a department meeting due to a strange text followed by silence from his grandfather. Nik’s papou tells him that he could be the next keeper of a 2500-year-old coin, but to think on it to make sure this is what he wants. Nik can not be told more than that before his decision is made. If he chooses no, he will know nothing else. If he chooses yes, he will begin to train. Nik, like his grandfather is passionate about history. I have never been a fan of history but even I recognized names in this story and got excited. Helen of Troy, Aphrodite, the Iliad, the connections made to so many years earlier, of one small coin that started out as a rock is exciting. Nik is confronted with a schedule that has him almost double thinking his decision to jump in. He begins to learn the history of the coin, while training in weapons, working out, and reading the vast library at his grandfathers. Nik must be prepared for anything. Including knowing that there may be a second coin that if both coins ended up in the wrong hands could cause catastrophic danger. This was a great read and look forward very much to the next book. Thank you Luciana Cavallaro for making even me excited about history, myths, and tales passed down from one generation to the next.
