A review by janeleng
The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan

3.0

While I enjoyed rereading this series as a whole, the final book really fell flat for me. Where the previous books’ plot benefitted off the twists and turns of different quests, the bulk of this book is one giant battle that feels one-note very quickly. The most interesting part for me was Luke, but I would have preferred the uncovering of Luke’s backstory to be gradually revealed throughout the series rather than crammed into a single book.

Lastly, I remember being very invested in Annabeth and Percy’s romance when I first read this series, but WOOF did it not work for me as an adult. Was honestly actively rooting for him to get with Rachel even though I knew how it all ended. Another case of me aging out of this genre!
