Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me free access to the digital advanced copy of this book.

In this sequel to the popular Oh My Gods! by Stephanie Cooke, we see that Karen, a demigod and the daughter of Zeus, has moved to Mt. Olympus. She is starting her junior year with her godly friends, and one of her extracurricular classes is the school newspaper, where she decides to investigate an online troll that goes by M1N0T4UR. While trying to figure out who this "person" is, Karen and her friends find a labyrinth beneath the school.

I really enjoyed the original Oh My Gods!, but this one didn't do it for me. I wanted more about Mt. Olympus and the gods that live there. The story was entertaining, but if you took out what little there was about the gods, Mt. Olympus, and any other mythological stuff thrown in, you would have a middle-grade fun graphic novel. I was expecting more from Greek Mythology in the story. Just don't go in with the assumption that you will get a lot of Greek Mythology. With that said, I would highly recommend this book.

This series is so so so fun! I really like the illustrations and the characters. The storyline was fun to read. I love books that deal with myths and legends and this was a great addition to my list. I hope there are more after this one.

"The Forgotten Maze" is a delightful follow up to the first Oh My Gods! book. At times, the plot relied to heavily on the game elements, but it's a fun read nonetheless.

I love this series that reimagines how classic Greek gods would act as modern middle school students. These books are hilarious and perfect for fans of Sisters, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and Dork Diaries as well as readers who like mythology.

I think that this book was so much better than the first. The story was a lot more interesting and the overall plot with the game was a good idea. The artwork was great to look at, especially the maze scenes. I'm a sucker for a labyrinth-inspired story. Also, the whole newspaper idea was interesting.

I will say though that I find it strange that we have Greek God and Goddess characters in this story like Athena, Apollo, Aphrodite, Ares, etc. and we don't get them really using their powers. There was so much opportunity for it in this one and they just didn't. Also, Ares is nothing like his Greek mythology counterpart. I was actually surprised when Karen was introduced to him in the story because I was expecting someone completely different. And again another child of Zeus that is not a child of him in this story. Though I will say the description of him at the end of the story does state it, unlike the others.

I did like how the characters all worked together throughout the maze to find a way out of it and to help Ares find Jeff. I just think that we could have got so much more out of all of the Gods and Goddesses in these scenes than we did. This could have introduced some of their powers from mythology. We did get strategy from Athena and archery from Artemis but the rest just seemed to be there.

This was definitely a more enjoyable volume than the last and I do think that I would pick up another one in the series if more were to come out. I've always been a sucker for a Greek Mythology series and I think that this one is a cute one that younger readers would probably enjoy quite a bit.

I received an electronic ARC from Clarion Books through NetGalley.
Delightful sequel to Cooke's first story of Karen and her relocation to Mt. Olympus. The tale picks up with Tina becoming the editor of their junior high newspaper and encouraging all of the friend group to join the staff. Karen struggles to figure out what she wants to write about until a troll named M1nat4ur interrupts her video game with friends from her former home. She decides to track M1nat4ur down to end the problems. The group adds more friends and venture into the basement where no one goes. Readers see them work together to make it through the maze, find M1nat4ur and bring him into their group. The artwork is highly detailed and well drawn. Readers can study the background details several times and still find new connecting pieces.

I love the art for this book! It's beautiful and eye catching and I just absolutely adore it. I love books with Greek Mythology inspiration and so this book was right up my alley.

I think this book will do well at my library. Its very similar to other books we have purchased for this age group. I think this is a good book for fans of Percy Jackson (and their slightly younger siblings would probably enjoy it too)! If your kid liked the Pandora books, they will get a kick out of Karen and her her crew's modern myth inspired world.

The minotaur is one of my favorites and the allusions and references are fun! The shenanigans, twists, and turns are sure to capture the attention and imagination of anyone who sits down to read this story!

Thank you to NetGalley for providing a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.

I really liked this book! I knew this was a sequel and have yet to read the first one. I definitely want to read the first one now and I hope that the series continues. Not only was the story good but I loved the art as well. It was easy to read and I had a hard time putting it down.

I would recommend it to kids and adults. It would be great for anyone wanting a quick peek into Greek mythology or those just beginning to learn about it.

The perfect sequel and progression for these characters. Sometimes things move quite quickly which can be jarring but I think it's really well suited to younger readers.

Great story!! Very much enjoyable and love the art just as I did in the first. I would say the first book had more heart in its message. Saying that this was still very cute. I would recommend to kids and adults alike

This was a great companion to the first book! I enjoyed the humor and the way that each character was developed. I just wish that some of the things that happened were more mythologically accurate- for example, in the myths, Athena and Arachne are enemies, not friends. The Hydra also sprouts two more heads if you chop one off, instead of just losing a head. I liked the plot and the story, though I wish there'd have been more plot twists.

While this title didn’t contain as much heart as it’s predecessor, The Forgotten Maze is still an excellent choice for middle grade students who love Greek mythology. Hand over to fans of Percy Jackson!

"Oh My Gods! 2: The Forgotten Maze" is the next book in the series of regular girl Karen who is sent to Mt. Olympus to go to school with Greek gods. The makeup of this mythological pantheon is a lot like the series "Goddess Girls" but in graphic novel form. And the art style is very much in line with the tone of the series as a lighthearted affair with action stakes.

As a sequel, it does a good job of introducing new conflicts and continuing old plot concerns. However, it's not friendly as a stand alone or introduction. The cast of characters is large, at times unwieldy, especially because they introduce multiple names for many of the characters. Most of the Greek gods have contemporary nicknames, like Tina for Athena or Pol for Apollo. Karen's online friends have their real names as well as their video game usernames, and then when the gods join the video game server they create their usernames to be guessed from context.

The good news is the online chats are color coded and other instances of cluttered dialogue can be easily deduced from the corresponding art, but it's still needlessly complicated at times. For example, Karen shows the others a trailer that introduces the video game's playable characters by their names. There is even a Holohunter character personality quiz at the back of the book, which is cute but the game avatar personalities don't inform the plot at all, Karen and her friends just inhibit their physical appearance when they're in the video game, so the pages devoted to the game set up feel wasted from a storytelling standpoint.. But in spite of some cluttered name designations, kids will still be able to tell each character apart, largely in part from the great artwork and character designs,

Another in the "Oh My Gods!" series that will delight fans of the first one, and a good thing to offer any Greek mythology invested kids..The art is cute and accessible, a fluffy alternative to George O'Connor's more serious "Olympians."
