Horn Book Review

Emily and her companions try to save the Olympians from a deadly new weapon in this fourth book. Emily's ever-evolving powers reach their zenith as she makes a shocking discovery about herself that could change the fight against the Titans. Themes of loyalty and sacrifice continue, with a little love sprinkled in, while mythological action keeps the plot moving to a dramatic conclusion. (c) Copyright 2015.
