mye bedre enn filmene. va def starten på ein serie, an beskreiv ting mye merr enn an trengte. like an overall veldig mye

Reading this for the second time because of the nostalgia. If you know, you know. :)

More of a 4.5/5 star.

I cannot believe it took me THIS long to actually get around to starting this series. Or just a Rick Riordan book in general. I’ve had this series now on my shelves for awhile and I just never knew when I’d get to it. I’ve known everyone to RAVE about this series and everything.

I’m really pleasantly and happily surprised with how much I enjoyed this! It was so much fun and I really liked the characters. I liked the wit and humor that comes along with it and everything too.

I don’t know a TON or really much about Greek Mythology or actually mythology in general. It wasn’t ever my interest growing up. I was just about age of the characters when the books were coming out but I never really knew a lot about them. Or I didn’t hear many talking about it in general I feel like.

I’m sad I waited this long to start this series. But I really liked it. I’m glad Believathon got me to finally pick it up because it was 100% worth it. I also now really want to read the rest of Riordan’s books so that’s a win!

I had a feeling I would enjoy this book if I ever got round to reading it and I definitely did! I had seen the first film before knowing about the series and the book was a million times better.
I didn't expect it to remind me so much of Harry potter as in the film they are older, but I'm glad it did because it's refreshing to read a book series again that doesn't immediately have teen romance.
I really enjoyed the way this book is written and I know I shouldn't but I do compare it to Harry potter but it's the first series I've read since that closest reminds me of my beloved Potter. And that isn't a detraction at all! I cannot wait to read the next one as I burned through the first.
