El Fuego Inmortal (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

This is a great culmination to the Cronus Chronicles and may be my favorite of the three books. That's hard to decide as all three were witty, adventurous, and magical. In 'The Immortal Fire' Charlotte grows as a character. Her relationship with her parents has evolved and this affects her course through the story. Zee is steadfast. I think we'd all like a cousin like him. Anne Ursu's sharp writing style appeals to kids and adults. More gods and goddesses, more monsters, more hi-jinks...this is a must-read for fans of the Greek myths. I have found in this series that there is always a slow start. Thankfully this time the start was much faster. Overall this was an average book, it was not nearly as good as the first book though and the second has all but slipped my memory. As for ending the series ti was a whatever. Not the best note to end on. It had two redeeming qualities: 1 The fun portrayals of the gods (though this is counteracted with Ursu's need to dumb things and and state the obvious, and her repetitiveness, though perhaps that's what I get for dawdling in the middle school section.) And her clever and amusing end for Philonecron, which I quote enjoyed and found suiting, pun not intended.
