Books like Olympus Academy: The Jinxed Journey: 3

A review of Olympus Academy - TrilogyWe’re introduced to Pandora as a teenager. Her situation is that she loves her small family very much but is forced to leave them for safety. She is an earnest, kind, and fiercely determined young woman.The inevitable comparison to Rick Riordan. Yes, both write YA using Greek Mythology as a backdrop. It reminds me of ‘Heroes of Olympus’ (Riordan’s teen series), because each character has their own strengths and issues to overcome. I find Riordan’s writing style much more satisfying - he naturally blends comedy into intense adventure! Eliza Raine’s adventure plots are great, but they lack comedy and depth. Her characters did develop, however I just didn’t feel like there was time to learn to love them.Is it a big deal that this trilogy needed editing? Too many missing apostrophes. For some reason, the author uses “span” instead of “spun” a lot.There were some run-on sentences that bothered me, but the grammar was the worst, for me. It pulled me out of the moment.That said, it was a very fun read, when I did get caught up in it! There was suspense, mystery, action, interesting mythology, and plot twists!I’d give the series 3.5/5 overall, and would recommend it to teen readers.
