Antigoddess

Title:   Antigoddess

Author:  Kendare Blake

Reviewed by Coleson B.

The Goddess Athena and the God Hermes are traveling the world to find allies and enemies and their search brings them to an ordinary girl Cassandra. Cassandra doesn't really concern herself with Gods nor does she believe in them, until she finds out she could be the key in a war that is only just beginning.

I liked this book because gods are supposed to be immortal and not able to die but Athena is choking on feathers and Hermes is withering away before Athena's eyes. I think that it is a great twist in Greek mythology.       

I think that when you started reading it was a little bit boring and it took a long time to get to the point but besides that I really liked it.    My favorite character is Cassandra because she thinks she is just an ordinary 18 year-old girl but really she once was the prophetess Cassandra of Troy and Athena, Hermes, and Demeter need her because she could be the key to the goddess war. My favorite part was at the end when Cassandra, Athena, Odysseus, and Hermes were in the cemetery mourning Andie and Henry. They were proud to have died heroes.

This book is totally different from books I normally read. I normally read mystery, thriller, and horror books so this was a good change for me. I have never read a book about gods and goddesses but I'm glad I did because I really liked it.  After finishing, I want to know how ancient gods came to the modern world so quick and if they didn't come back from ancient times and they live in the modern world, how do they still look so young?  

                      

I would tell other people that they need to read this book because it is a mythical roller coaster ride about gods and goddesses, and I liked it very much.  I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys suspense and likes to read things about gods and goddesses because Kendare Blake is a brilliant writer and made an extraordinary piece of work and it was great to have read it.

Oh.My.Gods!

Title: "Oh.My.Gods.

Review by Abigail S.

This book was about a girl who loves to run and wants to go to a certain college. She is shipped half way across the world to go to a school filled with descendants of gods and goddesses and at the end she finds out that she is a descendant too.  

             

I loved how I could relate to the main character. I loved how it was woven together like high school life with mythology. Basically I liked everything . 

     

My favorite character was Griffin because he showed that he cared more than he let on. I liked his personality.

My favorite scene was when she is on the beach and she meets Griffin because it seemed magical. After the book ended, I wondered why Stella changed her colors, 

       

If someone asked me about this book, I would say that it is funny and romantic. It is like teen life with gods. I would recommend this book to other people because it is fun to read even if you don't like mythology.

Promposal

Title: Promposal

Author: Rhonda Helms

Reviewer: Aspen T.

Promposal is about a Camilla, a girl who wants her crush of over three years to ask her to prom, but she is instead asked by an irritating friend in another class. Camilla's best friend Joshua has been in love with his friend Ethan for years and wants to ask him to prom, but Ethan wants help asking another person.

I love how the chapters switch between Camilla's POV and Joshua's POV. I love how they are faced with problems along the way and stay strong and learn from their mistakes to have a happy ending. I honestly did not dislike anything!
            

My favorite character was Joshua! I love this sassy personality and his ability to help others because it is the right thing to do even when he needs help too.
         

I think one of the biggest things was that Joshua was able to put his long term feelings aside to help his friend find love. Even when he knew it would hurt himself, he did it because he loved his friend. I've never read a book about prom, but I loved reading the different "promposals" and the different intricate friendships between the different characters and how they handled their problems. I haven't really read a book with so many problems happening between all the characters and it was nice to see them all work it all out.             After I finished, I wondered what happened after the prom with all the friends and how their relationships play out. It was an abrupt ending that left me wanting more!

I would recommend this book to everyone and tell them about its great humor, romance, funny "promposals" and interesting and unique characters. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends. It was an amazing book and I related to the characters with not only their grade, but some of their problems as well. It’s a great book with funny one-liners and interesting characters that made me fall in love with not only them, but the book!
