review 1: This title is part of a series and this is the 6th book. I have not read the other books in the series and did not know at the time of check out that it was a series - my bad. But in most series the author is able to write in small reminders of what has occured in previous books so that the reader is not completely lost. This did not happen and I was completely lost. I will try again with 1st book.
review 2: When I say this series is kind of like "Percy Jackson" for girls, I'm not meaning it at all derogatorily. It's every bit as exciting, fun, & full of actual Greek myth. The pace moves quickly & the characters continue to develop in personality. Of course, this series has nothing to do with the modern world - even main character Pandora is, of course, a f... moreigure of myth. In this book, she's after the sixth of seven terrible things she accidentally let out of her dad's famous box - greed. In order to come across it, she & her trusty friends Alcie, Iole, & Homer, must go ten years into the future to the newly powerful city of Rome, where they become slaves in the house of one seriously obnoxious senator. Things are about to get seriously crazy, but at least Pandy's arch-nemesis Hera is still in pieces in Persia - or is she? Honestly, in spite of the definitely girly cover art, I'd have no problems at all recommending this series to any kid who loved Percy, girl or boy. Can't wait to see how things finish up in the final book. less
