The third book of The Cronus Chronicles was a disappointing experience for the hype given in the last book. I expected clever comedy and heart-pounding action like the other books, but instead got frustrating setbacks from the action with blots of forgetful comedy. I liked this book, but I expected more.As stated above, this book had one major flaw, constant setbacks. Mr. Meteos, (a Promethean in the book) constantly limited Charlotte and Zee's ability to fight because they are children, which gets annoying amazingly quickly. But readers are not freed from setbacks after Charlotte and Zee separate from Mr. Metoes and the Prometheans, because the author decides to split up the main characters for a few chapters. She did this in the other books as well, but it worked. It worked in the first book, "The Shadow Thieves" because the split added weight and intensity to the climax. In the second book, "The Siren Song" Zee's character was replaced by a boy just as interesting named Jason, who the reader would eventually see as flawed, so when Zee and Charlotte are reunited readers are more grateful for Zee's characters. However in the third book, Zee and Charlotte's separation just seemed like another setback, because (of course) they worried a lot for each other, and were depressed about not having one another, which wasn't enjoyable to read. The book got boring, and by the time the cousins were reunited, you were to worn out to feel the heart-pounding action. Also, the idea of Zee's and Charlotte's parents being in the dark about where they children were just made me feel guilty during this adventure, and the fact that the author didn't write the parents and children being reunited made me feel more guilty, and annoyed. Their was the return of some characters though, which I enjoyed, and the interpretations of the other gods were wonderful as usual. Their was one portion in the book that was laugh out loud funny, which was a good release from the boredom. The main villain was (as always) fantastically twisted. However the new character of Steve could have been more fleshed out, even if he was supposed to be relatable to the readers if they were in the situation posed in the book's climax. All and all, it would be okay if it wasn't connected to this particular series, because it is, I found it a let down for how excited I was originally for this book. Plus the constant setbacks took the intensity out of the climax, which was also dissapointing. However the creativity of the plot and the characters is hard to ignore. I believe it's worthy of 3/5 stars.

This book was really funny but it was also giving good information about how they all helped the United States.

This book was pretty good, so Ariel or "El" the main character just moved to Blair: a public school from a private school. She makes friends instantly with Margot and Desi, who she hangs out with. On her first day at Blair, she gets lost and Eric: the cutest boy she has ever seen, helps her get to her class. El starts crushing on Eric, and when she purposely gets in detention with Eric she meets Eric's cousin: Dylan.

Hey guys my name is Hope and I just want to say that I just started reading this book and am already loving it if you like the first book you will like this one bye-bye now.

Why?? Why does there have to be so many bullies?? Why can't they just STOP!!! They are just hurting other people and makeing other people want to get away from there school and neighborghood!!! People should be able to live in there nieghborhood and go to there schools without being afraid to go any where because they don't want to run into the bully and get beat up. I think bullies should stop because it makes the people getting beat up have a higher risk of going to the hospital and getting sick and passing away. I KNOW for SURE that when iget older that i'm am going to make a difference in the WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For an example i am going to volunteer to go to schools and teach kids that bulling is not for you and that bulling should be stop. Also i am going to teach them how to ignore bulling. I hope that i can make a difference in the world when i get older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
