I liked the series a lot! Not 100% my thing, but they were fun and well thought out! I didn’t love the last book, but that’s just bc war/action climaxes make me sad/stress me out. It was well done and I’m glad I read it. 

Nico is way too cool to be a 12 y/o tho

The battle of the labyrinth remains my favourite but this is a close second. You can really see how Percy develops as a person and everyone around him is impacted for the better. This book is so well written and even though I was rereading it so I knew the plot twists, a few still caught me by surprise. Incredibly enjoyable read. I can't wait to start the next series.

I love Rick Riordan's books with a passion! He is an amazing author and a fantastic storyteller. This book series got me back into reading again and I'm very happy for that. He manages to make the books enjoyable for the audience, and also manages to put in bits of knowledge and mythology, a great mix! Anyone older than me who has kids, please get your children to read these books, they are fantastic!

While I loved this book, I still think Battle of the Labyrinth is my favorite. About 50% of this is focused on the war in Manhattan, and while I understand why it had to be written that way, it did get to be a little monotonous. 

But I really appreciate that Percy made the conscious decision to call the gods out for their bullshit and that we finally got Percabeth.

Also, interesting observation: after having read Song of Achilles a few weeks ago, I absolutely loved the parallels Rick Riordan had made between the Battle of Troy and the Battle of Manhattan. Spoilers for Song of Achilles below: 

A hero's honor is disrespected over a feud, and they refuse to go to battle even when absolutely necessary. A dear "friend" of the hero disguises themselves in the hero's armor, only to fall after facing a foe only the hero can defeat. The hero defeats the foe to avenge their friend's death, and then drags the foe's body behind their chariot while demanding to fight the leader of the enemy's army.

Now, is the hero I'm speaking of Clarisse or Achilles? The friend, Silena or Patroclus? The foe, the drakon or Hector? And the leader of the opposing army, Kronos or Paris?
All that to say, I believe that Clarisse and Silena were secretly dating behind Beckendorf and Chris Rodriguez's backs, or at least in love with each other. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
