Okay, so now I’ve finished The Shadow Thieves by Anne Ursa. I found out that I really didn’t like the ending. But this could be just because there’s another book or two after it. One of the things I liked about this book was that it incorporated some of the Greek mythology, but the story wasn’t completely taken over by telling all of the different elements of the Greek’s confusing religions. But at the same time it explained just enough that you understood why something was, like why Hades is Lord of the Underworld. I still don’t really like that it is that mythical, but it’s more acceptable now than when I wrote my first part of this book report. Now the main characters have had to make even more important choices, like when Zee had to decide whether to stay in the hidden cave or try and stop Phil from tearing down the castle. He decides to leave, which is what I would do, because I hate sitting still, and I hate sitting still even more when other people are doing stuff. Charlotte has now had to show courage and determination, so now she seems a little more like me, but I don’t know how much courage and determination I have. Zee is still more like me, and he has learned that he can be loud when he wants to, which I can (if I really want to). So I still say others might like this book if they like Greek stuff or just want something different.

I liked this entry. You explained why you didn't like the mythical part. I think it sounds kind of cool!
