God the best book and the best ending of this series. This was so nostalgic and warmed my heart! I realized I never finished this series or the spin offs that go with it so I’m excited to continue my journey!!

What to say about these books… I think my appreciation for them grows the older I get. The narrative choices that are made throughout the books provide so much more depth than having Percy be a typical “chosen one”.
I think there’s just too much to say about it to like really organize my thoughts. All in all…. It slays

Before I get into by review, I just want to say that this is completely my opinion. There also is a brief spoiler, so I’m warning you here.
This book is amazing. It lures you in on the first page. One of the main things that this series does for readers is it provides you with a large cast of characters, each with their own flaws. No one is perfect. That applies to the characters in Percy Jackson. They all are flawed, which makes them more relatable.
But unlike some other book series, the characters in Percy Jackson change. They develop. They grow. Thats why so many people enjoy this series. It isn’t one of those books were all the heroes are perfect and win every time and the villains lose every time.
Percy Jackson is great because the villain actually has a reason for what he’s doing, and it’s a valid reason! I mean, if my parents ignored me and never spoke to me and pretended I didn’t exist, I probably would have had a similar reaction. And I know that a lot of people would have. Don’t deny it. This series has excellent villains, and although most won’t agree with the way they are trying to fix the problem, they understand why.
And if you hate the series, I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it, I totally respect your opinion. but I have a serious question for you. Why did you continue to read the series if you didn’t like it?
Overall, the Percy Jackson books are an excellent middle grade series, and it is a excellent book that all kids can relate to. Thank you Rick Riordan!
One more thing. If your a hater of this series, and one of the things you have been complaining about is how it’s to childish for a young adult series, that’s because it’s middle grade series. I noticed that is one of the many things people were complaining about in the reviews, and I felt like I needed to say that this is a false piece of information.
Thanks for reading!

reread god it’s better than i remember. had me in tears. i can only pray the tv series gets to this before the trio is in their 30s
What a rollercoaster! There were so many things that happened! I've never gotten so many goosies from reading a book before. It seemed like every epic battle scene where the Hunters and the centaurs came to help just got me so hyped. Even more so, when HADES joined the fight! I love all of Percy and Poseidon's father and son moments. Especially the part where Percy sits on his throne had me cracking up for five minutes straight. Rick Riordan did a wonderful job of ending this first series and I'm so excited to see what he has in store next!
