Many of the myths of Greek Gods have been told however, this story is easy to read and exciting. We go from the beginning of the Titans and Olympians fighting and how they then become Gods. After we go into every story of the Gods and what made them special.

I have never been a mythology person, however, this book was so good at explaining the story and symbols in a fun way. The writing made sense and I didn't want to put the book down. I loved how it went in time and the order of the stories made it so I understood who everyone was and made it so I wasn't so lost.

All main characters had special amazing abilities.
