review:

'Hades Speaks!: A Guide to the Underworld by the Greek God of the Dead' gives you a personal tour of Hades' realm by the god himself. It's also got some great illustrations.



Hades gives you a personal tour of his realm along with stories of the famous characters who he's run across. He has a serious dislike for his little brother Zeus and his nephew Herakles. Areas like Elysium, Tartaros, the Asphodel Fields and the river Styx are all covered.



I liked the attitude that Hades comes across with. I think this would be perfect for younger readers who want to read more about Greek mythology after reading some of the Percy Jackson series. The illustrations by J. E. Larson were wonderfully gothic and creepy. The book finishes with an index and a guide to the Greek gods. Also included is a sneak peak of the next book, 'Anubis Speaks.' Perfect for 9-12 year old readers.



I was given a review copy of this ebook by Boyds Mills Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
