I loved the short stories in this one. I wish I had known about them before finishing the first five books. They connected the dots a little on some relationships and endeared me to a character before they die in the fifth book. I particularly enjoyed The Sword of Hades because watching the three big Demigods come together is always a treat. Also, seeing more titans is fun.
I particularly enjoyed the downtime and seeing old characters again post series, but next time I will be reading in order! For a critique, I would say they were too fast paced. I know it's a trio of short stories but just like with the Sea of Monsters, I found the pacing in the first two short stories to be a bit off.
