The 5th and final book in Percy Jackson and the Olympians does not disappoint!  This was my 2nd or 3rd time reading but first time in at least a decade. Percy's 16th birthday is approaching so this story is pushing older middle grade now with all the great characters and Greek mythology you've fallen in love with from the first books in the series.
In this world , children born to mortals with a godly parent are called half-bloods and monsters are drawn to them. Not all gods are treated equal and resentment is making way for war. Can Percy and his friends prevail?
This series is definitely a favorite of mine and it makes my heart so happy to reread.

The fact that this isn't even the end of Percy Jackson or Rick Riordan's universe makes me giddy. What a way to end the big prophecy but keep me wanting more!

A perfect end to a perfect series! I love the parallels of Silena and Clarisse to Patroclus and Achilles. I don’t know if it was intentional or not but it was executed flawlessly. The ending was very unexpected in the best way possible.
