The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
5.0
This is my third time reading this entire series, and it never disappoints. The Percy Jackson books are the reason I fell in love with reading in the first place. Back when I was in the fifth grade, I decided to pick up The Lightning Thief and check it out of my middle school’s library.
The characters are all deeply relatable and Rick Riordan knows how to create characters that you can root for. There are not many 2-dimensional “bad guys” in his books because he embraces the art of Greek tragedy and there is always a reason behind the actions of his antagonists.
Percy and his friends taught me the importance of friendship, how to be a good friend, and that selflessness and love often go hand in hand.
I grew up with these characters… and I will never stop showing my love and support for their stories.
