The Beautiful Stories of Life: Six Greek Myths, Retold
When I discovered this slim volume I thought that perhaps it would be intended for younger children. After all, it’s only 77 pages and a cute little square shape. I was a bit mistaken in that. Shame on me for … Continue reading
Zeus: King of the Gods
Zeus actually comes before Athena in George O’Connor’s Olympians series. It makes sense, as O’Connor takes us back to the very beginning of creation and tells the story of Zeus up to where he claims Mount Olympus and the Gods … Continue reading
Athena: Grey Eyed Goddess

The Battle of The Labyrinth
The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan is the 4th book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series. I’m still having a great deal of fun reading these (yes, my enjoyment has increased greatly since the first book). … Continue reading

The Titan’s Curse
The Titan’s Curse by Rick Riordan is the 3rd book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. So far, what has impressed me the most is that the books in this series are equally good. I liked The Titan’s … Continue reading
The Sea of Monsters
This is the second book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. No matter what I think of the Rick Riordan publicity machine I have to hand it to whoever decided to clearly number the books in this series. … Continue reading
