My name is Gwen Frost, and I go to Mythos Academy — a school of myths, magic and warrior whiz kids, where even the lowliest geek knows how to chop off somebody’s head with a sword and Logan Quinn, the hottest Spartan guy in school, also happens to be the deadliest.
But lately, things have been weird, even for Mythos. First, mean girl Jasmine Ashton was murdered in the Library of Antiquities. Then, someone stole the Bowl of Tears, a magical artifact that can be used to bring about the second Chaos War. You know, death, destruction and lots of other bad, bad things. Freaky stuff like this goes on all the time at Mythos, but I’m determined to find out who killed Jasmine and why — especially since I should have been the one who died …

I've had Touch of Frost on my bookshelf for years and in a bid to finally read some of these books, I finally decided to start the Mythos Academy series. I really liked this book! I've been a Jennifer Estep fan for years and ate up her Elemental Assassin series, so I was totally excited to jump into this new series that is adjacent, both being set in Ashland. I'll admit that I was a little hesitant since it is a YA and in general, I don't read them. But I got sucked into this mythological world that Gwen is discovering as she navigates her first few months at Mythos Academy. Was this book perfect? No. Jennifer Estep is notorious for being repetitive, and it continues in this series. And I'll agree with other reviewers that the writing did feel a bit dumbed down for the YA audience. However, the actual plot was what hooked me and wants me to continue the series. I can look past those “issues” (at least for now) because I want to know what happens next in Gwen's adventures.
