godddddddd this book is so good i can’t express it enough these characters will always have a place in my heart this is such a great introduction to the world and the characters and connecting it to actual greek myths in relevant plot ways like
perseus and percy with the medusa head and gabe
and
luke and the hercules quest
plus the rest of the series also does such a good job at building on this great foundation sorry i love this series so much if you know someone like around 8-13 please let them read this especially if they’re neurodivergent if i talk about the neurodivergent representation in this i’ll cry (not perfect but it’s made me feel so seen and was the catalyst for me getting diagnosed in the first place sorry this really does hold such a special place in my heart it’s my favorite series of all time and my autistic special interest i can’t stop talking about it)
