The Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan
5.0
follows typical "riordan formula"
person with dead or otherwise absent parental figure discover they are connected with the ancient gods
find a place where they can be trained safely
are the "chosen one" to stop diabolical plan to end the world
go on a quest, meeting and fighting with gods and monsters to retrieve items which will help them stop the world from ending
after many trials and tribulations they delay or otherwise put an end to the "big bad" of the series.
wait another year for the next book which follow similar formula without fail.
...but...honestly i love these books so much, no matter how predicatble they are.
rick always writes the most diverse characters and always has such good representation in his novels.
and i love learning all the mythology that i never knew before, especially since i love mythology, i love to know his interpretation of the myths and how the characters interact with them.
the characters and the mythology and all the sub plots about this novel is what i love most about these novels
