The first series reread is complete. This book is a great finish to the series. Action is non-stop and war is raging throughout the book. With all the hype the final war is given throughout the series, I thought Riordan did a good job making it epic in scope with real consequences. The demigods are not invulnerable, and there are deaths that hit hard. The prophecy comes true in ways we don't expect (as is the way with prophecies). The ending satisfies. And the end also leaves room for the next series, Heroes of Olympus. Which of course I will be rereading too. The Percy Jackson world continues to be a favorite.
