Not gonna say much except that this was the best percy jackson book imo. Everything came together and it was so well-written, I read over half the book in one day because the story gripped me so much I couldn’t stop

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

A very satisfying end to this amazing series. While Luke and many others did wrong, they got the chance in the end to die heroes. They were all just kids who got a little lost along the way.
All of the relationships in this series are beautiful in many different ways. Each demigod is a hero in their own way. This giant band of misfits joined together and changed the way the world works.
Percy may have been an idiot about girls the entire time, but I’m glad he finally came to his senses. As much as I hate the word, Percy and Annabeth were always “endgame”.

The Last Olympian is the last book of the original arc of the Percy Jackson series. In this aspect, this book delivers a satisfying conclusion to the story of Percy and his friends while showing at the same time how much the characters have grown.
What I enjoyed about this novel was that we didn’t have one final fight at the end but instead, the final fight against Kronos to save Olympus spans almost the whole book with different waves of enemies that our heroes have to fight. This already starts at the beginning where Percy has to fight Kronos for the first time, showing us how high the stakes are right at the beginning. All fighting scenes are quite epic, and there’s a threatening atmosphere throughout this novel, mainly caused by the good old time pressure that’s prevalent in every book of the series. We also get more backstories for some characters; Luke is especially in the focus here and his backstory was just so sad.
The finale itself was good but not much more, mainly because the thing with Annabeth being able to get through to Luke and him killing himself for the greater good was a bit cliché. Luke honestly deserved better, it’s so sad how there was no other way out for him. Still, the ending was bittersweet, and I enjoy that Percy wants to change something about the status quo aka forcing the gods to accept every single child of them and making place for the lower gods in Camp Half-Blood .
I’ve said it in every of my reviews, but I love all the characters so much and it’s amazing to see how much they developed. Characters that especially stood out to me this time because I like them so much are Nico, Thalia, and Clarisse. Percy’s amazing as always and his feelings are portrayed so well here. The love triangle introduced in the previous book still annoyed me, just like some miscommunications happening. I also don’t know what to think about Rachel becoming the new oracle, I have the feeling that with that, she’s just tossed aside like Thalia kinda was when she joined the huntresses .
All in all, The Last Olympian was my favorite book of the Percy Jackson series and a satisfying conclusion to this story arc. I got quite attached to the characters and hopefully, I will read The Hero of Olympus one day so that I can see how their story continues.

A heartwarming and fitting end to the series. Having first read the series as a young child, I wasn't sure how it would hold up, but I'm happy to say that it, as well as the final book, is a strong middle-grade fantasy.
