1524104 I love these books! I actually liked these books more then the Percy Jackson series (which by the way I LOVE.) I like the Chronicles because it had so much sarcasm and humor in it that it makes you burst out laughing. Also because when I read the first book I was close to being Charlotte's age and unlike some authors out there who totally underestimate a wit of a pre-teen Anne Ursu created a character that I felt they were very much real. Charlotte might have been a brat at times but she had a good heart and was quick and witty when push came to shove. In general an awesome series.

2249896 I love these books. I recommend them to fans of the PErcy Jackson series. These books aren't as fast paced as Percy Jackson but they do a great job of bringing mythology to life.

2083653 Hello everyone,

So I just finished the first book The Shadow Thieves (Cronus Chronicles, Book 1) and I'm currently reading the second The Siren Song (Cronus Chronicles, Book 2)

Has anyone else read this series?

For anyone one who hasn't- it's a children's fiction which similarily to Percy Jackson, incorperates greek myth with modern day society.

I very much enjoyed the first book but found it a lot slower than the second book so far.

I wouldn't say I love it as much as Percy Jackson but I am trying to suspend comparison- and I like it very much in it's own right.
