I would like to thank both Random House and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book. I am so sorry it took me this long to do so. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Book Review:

This is the last book in the trilogy, and I gave it 4 stars. Diana is tired of adults telling her she can’t do something because she is a kid. She wants to go and help the children who have been kidnapped. These children have a special power, and an evil entity have taken them to hidden area. She must save them but isn’t sure how to do it. She must also warn the daughter of Zeus who is next on the list. but there is a problem she doesn’t remember that she is Zeus’s daughter because he wiped out her memories. How can she help her and the other children?

What I like about the story is the determinedness’ of Diana. I also like that she is able to help people with no thought to what will happen to her, but she doesn’t care because she loves her friends and wants them to be safe. I love the friendship in this book and the support they give her even though they sometime question her method. The whole series is great, and I recommend that you read them but make sure you read them in order to get the whole story line.

This is a really cute series. Diana is such a cool character and I really enjoy seeing her as a kid. Her friendships and growing powers drive the plot in such a wonderful way. The way the story continues from the first book was well done and it was interesting seeing more of the villain and his plan from the first book and how things fit together.

Diana and The Journey to the Unknown is a book that I thought could have had higher stakes. I didn’t really feel like Diana was in immediate danger and the tik tok part of the book didn’t really go with the rest of the premise. I appreciate the concept and I thought it had a lot of potential, but ultimately it wasn’t what I thought it was going to be.

This is pretty in keeping with the rest of the series! I haven't loved any of the 3 entries, but I think if you did, you'd love this one too. There was nothing wrong with this, it just didn't hook me. I do really like that the series has casual representation of different types though!
