Not bad. Pretty good storyline and a fairly original plotline. I've seen Xander as one of the God's chosen or child but not as Hepheastus' before. One observation - too many quotation marks. You don't need quotation marks for every sentence of spoken dialogue. Use them at the beginning of the spoken passage and at the end of the completed passage, unless you use a break in the middle of the sentence to describe an action. (Example: "You know," he paused for effect, "that just might work.") Otherwise, keep up the good work. Hint: If you've got an old English handbook, keep it handy. There are times that you can use it to improve your writing skills. And, if all else fails, you can use it to hit the computer with if it goes wonky!

Xander as the son of Hephaestus and Aphrodite is a wonderful idea. It almost seems as if Aphrodite was compelled to give up Xander as she herself didn't understand why she'd done so. I hope to read more of this story in a sequel.

Review of chapter "The Son of the Gods" from BlueEyedJedi
Review:
This Story demands a sequel. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Mean wow, You really brought something new to the table. I really look forward to where you can go with this tale. A Reconciliation with both of his parents would be great.

Cute, and fun to read. I'm glad there's more on the way cause it went by so fast.
The extra quotation marks are a bit distracting. As a rule if one person is speaking several sentences worth of dialog then its only necessary to use the marks at the beginning of the first sentence and then again at the end of the last sentence.
