This was a fun one! Not my favorite book ever in this series but I still had a good time. Pandora is a fun main character as well. The mythology in this one is on point and I learned a lot reading this. Another cute, quick read from the Goddess Girls series and I can’t wait to continue reading!

Pandora's curiosity often leads into trouble. But she's never done anything like this before! When Pandora opens Epimetheus's box, bubbles that change personalities are released onto Mount Olympus Academy. Principal Zeus is affected by one and becomes lazy; too tired to help mortals on Earth. Pandora and two Titan brothers must go on a dangerous journey to save the day.

Ok, so I 5-minute-read this. I've been curious about this series for awhile, because they're new-ish and nice and glossy and I dig the concept. I like mythology stuff, and the idea of writing a series of junior novels about them appeals to me.

Even though it's unfair, I can't help comparing any and all magical school books to HP somewhat. And it's just embarassing for the other books. This is just one of those books that reads like it was written by a 13-year-old girl. Crushes and excessively precious physical details abound. So I'm sure it's fine, I read the part at the end where Pandora wins a prize and invites her roommate friend instead of her crush, which I like, but, judging from my admittedly brief read, these books are nothing special. Wouldn't bother recommending.

Another fun book in the series and this time finally about that curious of girls: Pandora! While the tale of Pandora opening a box out of curiosity is far from a new tale; the way the authors handled it here was fun and enjoyable to read. It is also great to read about another of the few mortal characters in MOA. Seeing Pandora's endless questions for the reflection of insatiable ponderings and desire for knowledge about everything around her really brought the character to life as more than just "that mortal girl who talks alot and has bangs shaped like question marks".
