The Heroes of Olympus Hardcover Boxed Set by Rick Riordan
5.0
I had stumbled upon this so randomly that I think that most probably the Fates led me to read these series (including every other series by this author).
The author very nicely weaves the story around a lot of intricate details and you keep wanting more. The characters are really, really good, each one, with their own unique personalities, and evermore. Their sense of humour, sarcasm, grit, determination, hope, and little bit of hero streak, makes you glued to the series. Though set in a fictional world, it almost makes you wish it was real and feel it was real, as it seems to coincide with stuff on the real world too, in some cases.
I learnt a lot about the Greek and Roman mythology, and these nearly cover the stories accurately and creatively, and made me want to explore more about them too.
It touches upon various issues people face in real-life, and deals with them positively. As a kid, I loved it. As a teenager, I keep re-reading it to experience its vast universe once more.
