I never did read anything in PJO universe so I was new to Percy as a narrator. He is funny and his insights into the myths were fun. A lot of modern day references which could be quite cringe at times
My biggest takeaway from these myths is that the goddesses just want to be left alone! Most of them do not want to get married 😂

I don't love how biased Percy is towards his father since there were several instances where what he was describing was his dad raping women, but called it 'cuddling' and hardly had anything bad to say. However, he did do that with Zeus as well which is odd since he pretty much hates the guy. (obviously, Percy is fictional and I am talking about Riordan here).
Overall, I enjoyed this a lot and will be continuing into the Greek Heroes as told by Percy Jackson.

Making the Greek God's stories family-friendly is a job and a half, and unfortunately, whilst this book is fun and informative, with that classic Percy Jackson flair with him as the narrator, it definitely feels tone-deaf in places with how it explains certain events.
Greek mythology at its core, is based on incest, rape, and misogyny. This book trivialises a lot of that and definitely excuses it in order to make the Gods more bearable in the main series.
Overall, this book was fun to read, despite being slightly uncomfortable in places. It probably shouldn't have been written, especially as a kids book, and could be seen as insensitive in regards to how it conveys the events.
