4.0

Honestly, I didn't anticipate enjoying Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes as much as I did. Having Percy's added humor as he told each hero's story was fantastic. 

Reading this after reading both Percy Jackson and the Heroes of Olympus, I found it really interesting as I recognized random different names and stories. 

A great companion book to both of Rick Riordan's Greek mythology series!

Was fun to return to Rick Riordan after so many years. I’d reccomend reading these rettellings coupled with Heroes by Stephen Fry - it’s cool to see what different authors emphasise when retelling the same tales!
