With The Last Olympian, Rick Riordan perfectly wraps up the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. 

This book starts and ends with heartbreak, but is filled with heartwarming, funny, and game-changing interactions. Plus some more heartbreak. 

I don't think the Percy Jackson series could have been wrapped up better than it was with The Last Olympian.

Questions were answered, battles were fought, and characters got closure. What more could you want from a series finale?

I've read this so many times but I am STILL screaming, crying, smiling, and kicking my feet at "it was pretty much the best underwater kiss of all time"!!!!!

Loved the fast paced action. I appreciate how quickly the author got to the 'main event' but I did think he overstated certain points (the endlessly repeated "there's a spy at camp" comes to mind).
I found the Annabeth-Percy love story a bit tedious and unnecessary especially with the Rachel and Luke jealousy elements. I did appreciate that the author didn't shy away from killing characters, it made the stakes feel real.
While the action was fun I thought this book didn't have the same narrative feel as the others but I suppose this was meant to be the main climax. Overall an exciting conclusion to a quick, high action series.

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.
