Well, it seems like the Percy Jackson re-read has now turned into a full Riordan-verse reread, and if I get to read books like The Lost Hero, I'm not complaining about it. Rick tries his hand at a longer, more mature book/series, and you know what? He does it pretty well. The first instalment of the Heroes of Olympus is just as much of a thrill-ride as any of the PJO books, and has much more epic action and story packed into it. I think the only thing that pulls it down from a 5-star rating is that I'm not the biggest fan of Jason. Rick already set the golden standard for main characters with Percy, and while Jason is cool, I don't think he (or anyone tbh) measures up to Percy.

Although I did very much enjoy Percy Jackson at the end of this one I can't wait for the next ones to come out! This series will top Percy Jackson. To me it is kind of like Riordan did the Percy Jackson series as a warm up and then said to himself I can do better!
