My only regret when reading this book was that I didn't read it before I read The Last Olympian.

Percy Jackson's life isn't exactly the easiest. Being the son of a Greek god, Percy has to deal with monsters hunting him down, the gods of Olympus wanting his help with their own problems, and might even have to help his demigod cousins as well. The Demigod Files is a collection of short stories tying into the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series and also builds up to the finale. In the first story, The Stolen Chariot, Percy must help Clarisse retrieve her father's stolen chariot from her immortal siblings, the minor gods of fear. In the second story, The Bronze Dragon, an innocent game of Camp Half-Blood's Capture the Flag turns into Don't Get Killed By The Bronze Dragon when Percy Jackson and Chris Beckendorf accidentally stumble upon the dragon's remains. Finally, there's The Sword of Hades, in which Percy, Thalia, and Nico are summoned to the underworld to retrieve the stolen sword of Hades before it reaches the hands of the Titans.

Full of action, wit, and even some dramatic moments, The Demigod Files is a must-read for fans of the series. The charm of the original books are found here as well, with writing that flows and perfectly timed moments to speed things up, slow things down, or an addition of comic relief. I can't pick a favorite story from this book because I liked each one in its own special way. The Stolen Chariot showed readers Percy's greatest fear and perfect chemistry between him and Clarisse, The Bronze Dragon was a fun thriller and shows more of who Chris and Silena are, and The Sword of Hades gave even more insight of Nico's and Thalia's characters.

If you plan to or have already read the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series and want to experience the world to its fullest extent, don't forget this book!

This is a great little add-on to the percy jackson series.

very entertaining. I love how he puts in the modern culture references, especially ones from the Internet.
Since reading these books on gods and goddesses, I have been interested in earlier writings about them I reread Medea and enjoyed it I read an anthology of plays. A couple were dreadful.
