Oracle Of Delphi

Like Percy Jackson, Diantha Jones’ Oracle of Delphi brings Greek myth to the modern world, but this time it's in a less dramatic fashion. Teenager Chloe Clever sees and hears things that aren’t there, leading to worries about mental illness. In reality, she’s an Oracle, able to see into the future and control its outcome. With stunning description, Jones walks us through her path as the world is turned upside-down. A tangled web of plots evolves into a page-turning conflict as Chloe learns to make sense of her visions and control her power. To do so, she joins a school with other demi-gods and a dangerous adventure spans from there. With mythology adaptations, there’s always a fine line between respecting the source material and bringing something new to the table. Luckily, Jones is a master at it. She’s clearly done her research, and is able to portray gods and events accurately while offering small tweaks. Tied into all of this is a love story which avoids cliché love triangles. Jones respects her readers with a great pairing, and that care shines throughout the series.
