The Demigod Diaries by Rick Riordan
3.0
I don’t know why I called this book “cute”, it isn’t, really. The games and riddles are few and far between. They’re good, but overly simplistic.
I don’t enjoy the “pictures” of the demigods. The fanart is much better.
As for the 4 stories:
Story 1: Very good.
Story 2: A bit ridiculous and over the top.
Story 3: It’s nice to hear from Leo but Jason and Piper are reduced to having no personality again.
Story 4: This one does not sit right with me. It’s almost entirely told from the POV of a mortal adult, not a demigod. The difference was jarring and the set up was inexplicable.
All in all, I’m feeling a bit disappointed.
