I know it has been a few months, but now that we’re cozy in the new year we are coming to a new start with The Demigod Diaries. The book includes short stories, art, and puzzles about the characters of Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus. I am really excited to dive back into The Percy Jackson Project, and I hope you all are excited too!
I love short stories and Demigods & Magicians: Percy and Annabeth Meet the Kanes is no exception. There is something about a short story that keeps me interested and excited that a novel cannot match. This isn’t to say that I do not love novels. I would not write so many book reviews if I did not love those as well. However, I find short story collections like Demigods & Magicians to be a breath of fresh air. Thus, I enjoy reading them whenever I get the chance.
So here we are. Finally we have reached The Blood of Olympus, and thus The Heroes of Olympus has come to a close. AND I STILL HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS?? Rick Riordan you are once again wrong for that dedication. I respect it though. This book is amazing and deserves all the accolades. Also, Nico di Angelo is my favorite character of all time! We need to protect him at all costs! All costs I say!
Coming up with words to describe how much I love The House of Hades feels impossible, but I’ll do my best. I am so mad at myself that I slept on this series for so long. These books are some of the best content I’ve encountered in a long, long time. I’m excited to read again! This has honestly been such a pleasure.
I know that I sound like a broken record, but every book of The Heroes of Olympus is just better and better. The Mark of Athena is the latest I have read and therefore it is my favorite. The Greek and Roman camps have finally met and the prophecy of seven is unfolding. It can be difficult to juggle a story with so many protagonists, but Riordan does a fantastic job in The Mark of Athena. There is so much to appreciate about this series and specifically about this book.
The more I read of The Heroes of Olympus series the more I fall in love with it. I enjoyed the original Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, but The Lost Hero and The Son of Neptune present an expanded world and improved storytelling that make it that much more interesting and enjoyable to read. I love all of the characters that we are getting to know in these books as we shift the focus away from Percy alone and get to know other characters and see the world through their lenses. The intricacy of the storytelling combined with the heartwarming characters pulled me into the book and made it almost impossible to put down.
Right off the bat I am going to say that I absolutely adored this book. The fact that I slept on it for so long and did not read it immediately after finishing the first Percy Jackson series pains me in a way that is almost physical. There is so much to unpack about what I loved about The Lost Hero, but I will do my best to keep it concise and in a single post.
Given all the excitement and hype around the new Percy Jackson Disney+ show, I figured now was the perfect time to bring back my old blog series—the Percy Jackson project. Every week on Tuesdays I will be uploading a reaction/review of one of Rick Riordan’s books in the Percy Jackson universe.
Happy Pride! I know it’s been a hot minute since I posted on this blog, but to be honest I’ve been feeling pretty drained, physically, spiritually, emotionally, etc. But it’s Pride Month, and I’ve been burying my feelings by watching Heartstopper on repeat, alternating with re-reading the comics… you know, normal coping strategies! In all seriousness, I have come to this humble blog to offer you, out of the goodness of my heart, a 7ish recommendations of queer books you might want to read this month. (Why 7? Because it’s my favorite number, and everyone always makes lists of either 5 or 10 and that’s basic. Do you want me to be basic during Pride Month??)
So here it is, a long time coming, the final entry into the Percy Jackson Project (of the original five books) covering The Last Olympian.
Welcome back to The Percy Jackson Project! Let’s talk about The Battle of the Labyrinth. A reminder that this is a SPOILER HEAVY series of posts about my read through of the Percy Jackson series, so if you are not familiar with Percy Jackson and the Olympians through book four and you read this post any spoilers you read are your own fault.
We are onto book three of the Percy Jackson Project and in case you weren’t aware from my previous posts THESE ARE SPOILER HEAVY so don’t keep reading this if you have not read The Lightning Thief, The Sea of Monsters, and The Titan’s Curse.
Welcome to The Percy Jackson Project! Today is the long-awaited part two of my discussion of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters.
Welcome to the Percy Jackson Project! Today I am discussing book two of Percy Jackson and the Olympians — The Sea of Monsters.
It’s remarkably easy to get distracted. Look at me, right now, writing a blog post instead of reading Spivak. The issue isn’t that I don’t want to read Spivak. The issue is that I’ll be reading Spivak, and all of a sudden she’ll mention something about myth and then next thing you know I’m thinking […]
