I wish I had these books as a pre-teen/teen. This YA series would have hooked me with the adventure and Greek lore. 

It still does as an adult, but you definitely feel the lack of character development, emotional connections, how most of the plot feels a bit rushed, and how easy it is to predict the twists.

It still creates a lighthearted adventure full of magic, wild turns, and old Greek god themes and weapons in a modern setting. Highly recommend ✨
