⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Three and a half stars rounded up to four.
This book picked up exactly where the third one left off. I had pretty much the same thoughts on this one as I did on the others. I enjoyed the illustrations, it was fast paced (has to be for the age group it’s aimed at!), action packed and fun. I liked the magic aspect, and the element of Ancient Greek mythology weaved through the story. This book brings our heroic threesome together and working together properly for the first time.
We also get old bowl cut (AKA bad guy William) trying to merge different animals to make stronger better creatures for attacking his new biggest enemies. He made a type of Medusa and then he creates Cerberus. William then sics Cerberus on Kelly, Minh and Jimmy. Cerberus turns out to be a lot harder to defeat than Medusa was. William is still entirely distasteful and gross. I hate him and he is the type of villain without one redeeming quality. I have acknowledged in previous reviews that these books are written for kids and I am an adult. I would be interested to know what kids who read this think about old bowl cut. I think it is absolutely hilarious that the big nasty powerful villain has a bowl cut. I mean dude, get a hair cut. Although maybe he needs it to help keep that stupid crown on?
Anyway, I’m a bit sidetracked now. This is the last one I picked up from the library, so I will have to wait a little while now to find out what happens, and whether our three heroes and their steadfast friend and helper Stanley will be able to prevail. It will definitely be interesting to see what happens. One thing I can be sure of, because this is written for kids, it has to have a happy ending right?
