This was a great read! I loved it right away, mostly because of the writing style. I love Greek mythology and really liked the author's twist on Hades. The book says it's for ages 8 - 12, but I think older teens and anyone who likes YA will enjoy this. It reminds me of Neil Gaiman's works, only young adult and not quite as creepy.

When I started it I didn't realize it was book one of a series. I was sort of dreading the ending because so many series' leave the reader with a cliffhanger. The Shadow Thieves definitely ended its story, only it left enough room for more books to come. I haven't read the others yet, and I don't know how many there are, but I highly recommend reading The Shadow Thieves even just as a stand-alone novel.
