The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
5.0

Before I get into by review, I just want to say that this is completely my opinion. There also is a brief spoiler, so I’m warning you here.

This book is amazing. It lures you in on the first page. One of the main things that this series does for readers is it provides you with a large cast of characters, each with their own flaws. No one is perfect. That applies to the characters in Percy Jackson. They all are flawed, which makes them more relatable.

But unlike some other book series, the characters in Percy Jackson change. They develop. They grow. Thats why so many people enjoy this series. It isn’t one of those books were all the heroes are perfect and win every time and the villains lose every time.

Percy Jackson is great because the villain actually has a reason for what he’s doing, and it’s a valid reason! I mean, if my parents ignored me and never spoke to me and pretended I didn’t exist, I probably would have had a similar reaction. And I know that a lot of people would have. Don’t deny it. This series has excellent villains, and although most won’t agree with the way they are trying to fix the problem, they understand why.

And if you hate the series, I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it, I totally respect your opinion. but I have a serious question for you. Why did you continue to read the series if you didn’t like it?

Overall, the Percy Jackson books are an excellent middle grade series, and it is a excellent book that all kids can relate to. Thank you Rick Riordan!

One more thing. If your a hater of this series, and one of the things you have been complaining about is how it’s to childish for a young adult series, that’s because it’s middle grade series. I noticed that is one of the many things people were complaining about in the reviews, and I felt like I needed to say that this is a false piece of information.


Thanks for reading!
