It's been awhile since I read the first book in this series, but I was looking forward to seeing where the tale went next.

Returning from his last adventure, Zeus returns to the school for the start of the new term. A new student brings a little change, while the school attempts to return to normalcy despite the upcoming trials. When the earth giants attack and Zeus finds himself battling a deadly poison, it's clear that this term won't be any less exciting than the last.

This story is told in first person from Zeus' perspective and leads right on where book one left off. In other words, this is not a stand alone. While the academic life attempts to hum a familiar atmosphere from book one, and Zeus again faces normal classes, the questions and open-ends from the first book keep tension close. There is a lot going on and never a boring moment as the powerful teens face usual social issues (on a different scale) and continue with the fantastical, mythical adventures. It makes for characters readers can relate to, while still being pulled into the exciting adventure of the gods.

Zeus faces an inner struggle as he deals with the poison (a theme which is a bit confusing at times) and how this effects him and his friends adds a nice depth to the read. When the trials begins, everything kicks into a slightly higher gear. While many questions are answered, others open up and promise much more excitement to come.

Fans of fantasy, mythology and the atmosphere of high school will enjoy this series.

I received a complimentary copy and enjoyed reading the adventure.… (mere)

The education of the mythical Gods from 'The Shay Throne' are back!
The students and faculty of Mount Olympus Prepare anxiously awaiting the trial of Kronos to fulfil justice from his past evils.
Zeus and Metis has become "an item" since her aid in the previous book.
Now, the students are preparing "War Games" with competing schools, when the students encountered gargantuan Stone Giants while on a training trip. Zeus was poisoned priory, by a dragoness. While shape-shifting and trying to avoid the Giant until help came, the poison now is passing through him, causing him to act in bizarre ways.
What will become of him?
Is there any hope for a continued relationship with Metis?
Will they all be able to be sure a trial is held and justice done?
​The mythical characters are interesting.
The author has been very creative in his restituion of many forgotten ones.
This is a, somewhat, unique series, full of action,to delight youth needing a change of genre.
The one problem I had with the books is a slightly weak beginning. In both books, the action and clarity increases as te story builds.
I offer a Three and a Half Stars rating.
*This book was gifted me with no requirement of a positive review. This is my honest review.… (mere)

Zeus and the rest of the Mount Olympus Prep students are back. If you have not read the first book, I would recommend it. These books are meant to be read in chronological order. As this book does not have a lead into it. It kind of just picks up from the first one.

Just when I thought this series could not get any better, Mr. Ledbetter surprised me. I really like Zeus and the other young gods. They are very relatable. As I stated before, young adult readers will enjoy these books as well as getting to know Zeus like I have.

There is tons of action. In fact, there is so much action that you might be exhausted trying to keep up. So what are you waiting for...pick up these books today.… (mere)

We are welcome back to MO Prep and it students right before the start of a new term. Zeus and his siblings and friend Metis are all visiting Crete. They are there to visit and get introduced to his adoptive family. I loved this book and story behind it.

Things get tense when they run into his former professors. There seem to be heated conversation with Zeus and Metis. We also find out who Metis parents are? Chris Ledbetter doe a wonderful job with his characters.

We seem to see the confrontation once again with Zeus and Titans students or at least some of them. What will happen at Othrys Hall? They seem to start their new term and find new member to join MO Prep. Once they do, they go about their day. Once in the afternoon they seem to get attacked by something of a Giants Creatures on their war game practice. What are they? Who sent them?

If you want to know how it starts, I would suggest reading “The Sky Throne” by Chris Ledbetter. This one continues it. If you want to know how Zeus ends up with his struggles with toxin that Zenus has and is deal with during this book. Read the first book which I mentioned above.

I also really think there something going on with how the professors of the lower and upper academy are treating the MO Prep students. I can not wait for the next installment of this story. I am left wondering what Kronos means and why he got sentence he got? There are surprises and secrets spilled. What happens to Hyperion? There are two trials that goes on.… (mere)
