A review by misssusan
The Shadow Thieves, Volume 1 by Anne Ursu

4.0

this was really great :D

percy jackson's the obvious comparison here but for kids books that share the fun with greek mythology! aspect the tone is surprisingly different

i just get the sense ursu's a bit more critical of the greek gods? i mean the percy jackson books totally are, like the series runs on deadbeat dad syndrome but. still a difference!

anyways i really like charlotte and zee; they're an excellently balanced duo. clever talker slightly misanthropic charlotte! polite responsible soccer player zee! the way they keep trading off on being the brave one! it is just a really well done mix of personality traits; four for you anne ursu

no really, 4 stars. :D
