This book acknowledges both sides of viewing Aphrodite as she helps Athena with a makeover, which results in a lot of the godboys around the academy paying her more attention than Aphrodite. But then, on the other hand, Greek mythology treats her as being extremely scary when she's crossed, as well as being an extremely jealous goddess if anyone gets more attention than she does. On the one hand, many people look up to her, and women in particular aspire to be like her. You know, sometimes I can't make up my mind whether Aphrodite gets a good rap or a bad rap for being the goddess of love. This book was sent by the author in exchange for an honest review I can't' recommend this series enough, both to young readers, fans of Greek myths, and those who want a sweet, fun read with a great message for girls. I love the girl power message of these books.
But the focus was on friendship and being true to yourself before falling for a boy who doesn't deserve your attention. This story was so fun, with crushes on boys and jealousy over other girls getting attention. Hephaestus was such a sweet character, I loved reading about him.
I loved how this book told the story of Atalanta's race with the golden apples, one of my favorite myths. But Hephaestus may be the only one who can help her with a special project. She likes Hephaestus but when rumors swirl about them, she starts avoiding her friend. The only boy who still talks to her is Hephaestus, who walks with a limp. Aphrodite decides to give her friend, Athena, a makeover but doesn't really enjoy the result-all of the boys giving Athena attention instead of her. She especially loves the attention from handsome Atlas. It was so much fun while still containing a great message.Īphrodite has all the boys in school wrapped around her finger. The books teach the ancient stories and also teach valuable life lessons to young girls.Īfter reading the first three books in the series, "Aphrodite the Beauty" was possibly my favorite in the series.
The modern twist is there, even while being fully contained on Mount Olympus. Each of the characters are lovingly crafted as a young, modern version of the classic figure. I love reading about the Greek myths and the tales in this series are perfectly told for young readers to learn how fun and exciting the myths are.
