ameliesb 's review for:
The Demigod Diaries
by Rick Riordan
The Diary of Luke Castellan: I *always* want more Thalia Grace (where is our book about the hunters, Rick? Where?), it’s very necessary backstory to PJO, I still don’t get Luke apologists, the story itself is interesting 4/5
Percy Jackson and the Staff of Hermes: pretty fun short story, very in-character for Percy, I’m a little confused at Annabeth being the kind of person who wants to celebrate a 1-month anniversary, enjoyed it more than other Percy short stories
Leo Valdez and the Quest for Buford: Jason has no personality, how did I like him so much when I first read HoO (I still think he’s over-hated but… what was that Rick?), Leo has *big* incel energy here which I hate, Piper is surprisingly fun, the story is a little weird, it’s not a fun little quest as the Percy short stories are, it makes no sense that some things never show up in the actual books’ plot again (“They come every year around the holidays” then where are they again… ever?) 2.5/5
Son of Magic: This short story was written by Rick’s son who I believe was around 16 when he wrote this and his writing style is very fun, I just didn’t find the characters particularly compelling. It was fun and interesting to read and learn some background to the PJO magic system though. My one question is why Hazel was written to be a daughter of Pluto and not of Hecate, I think that would’ve been a much better storyline but oh well 3/5
