- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really like the heroes and training book series but when will more books come out I'm waiting for book 5 6 7 8 9 and so on and so on does anyone know when they'll come out?
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams are amazing at fracturing myths and legends. This is no exception to that. The Heroes in Training series are lighthearted, fun retellings of Greek myths and legends. This is shorter than the Goddess Girl books coming in between 100-150 pages. Using the framework of the myths we know and love, Holub and Williams, twist these into tween friendly novels with their trademark humour.Zeus and the Thunderbolt of Doom was a lighthearted fun retelling of the Titans and Olympians. Shorter than I expected though. Eager to read the next one. I liked Zeus and the "Cronies" and the humour was good. Pretty much what I expected from Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5A simple retelling of the Chronos vs. the Olympians portion of Greek mythology. I wasn't terribly wowed by this as a grownup, but it seems like it has potential for reluctant readers who like adventure. Also I wasn't overly fond of a blue-eyed, blond Hera. She's Greek. It's certainly possible for Greek women to have blue eyes, but they're generally a dark-haired people.Middle Grade FantasyGrades: 3-5Ages: 8-10Lexile Measure: 570LDRA Level: 40Themes: challenges & overcoming obstacles, courage/bravery/heroism
