In order to try to cut the head off of Kronos' approach by sea, Percy and Beckendorf, the son of Hephaestus, attempt to destroy his ship, the Princess Andromeda. However, Kronos, still possessing Luke Castellan, is not caught off guard because of a spy at Camp Half-Blood, and Beckendorf sacrifice...
El libro estaba bastante bien, pero creo que se esperaba un poco más para el final de estos maravillosos libros. El final fue muy cortante, inmediatamente después de terminarlo me quede en shock porque necesitaba saber que pasaba después, ¡Pensé que a mi libro le faltaba el último capítulo!Lo úni...
A great segue from one series to another. Being a lover of back story the multiple viewpoints in multiple time periods really appealed to me. After 10 books of hearing about it there was a certain degree of satisfaction involved in actually seeing the epic Cahill sibling fight. And getting some i...
Whoever thought of the concept for the 39 Clues in a Scholastic headquarters backroom was a genius. Not a literary genius, mind you. A marketing genius. Not only can Scholastic churn out books quickly using a variety of famous authors, they can sell trading cards. Tough begonias, libraries, e...
I'm so sad the series is over! The ending to the Great Prophecy was awesome. It may seem kind of obvious to some but I didn't see it coming down to Luke. I know of some people who wanted more death in the war, but eh I'm a softie so I'm glad there wasn't. And the spy? Never would have guessed tha...
It was pretty good. It is a fantasy book. Best book EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought this was a great book. It kind of threw me off when it was about Percy and not Jason but I figured it out when I read the next book. I really liked this book because it had great detail and good action and suspense. Its kind of weird that Hazel had lived a life before back in the 60's a...
The story line is fantastic, a superb blend of history, danger and excitement. Many of the characters are well developed and believable, and the plot unfolds in seamless layers. My boys have read (or listened to) this series over and over this summer. So why only a 3 star rating? There is an ...
4 1/2* My fault, but I am having trouble following all the Egyptian gods. Thank goodness the little boy I'm reading with is good at it, otherwise we'd be in trouble!!!Totally engaging for kids who like myths (and this 9 year old does) and action packed and fun. My only whinge about it is that ...
The Throne of Fire is written by Rick Riordan. This book is 452 pages of action and excitement. The Throne of Fire is the second book, in a three book series called the Kane Chronicles. Sadie Kane, and her brother, Carter Kane, come from a long line of magicians. They descend from the Egyptian go...
Fun end to the series. I liked how Riordan tied it up, while still leaving it open for future adventures. It took me a while to read it, so I don't remember most of my thoughts and impressions, but one I do remember is that I wish Carter and Sadie were a little older--just by a year or two. Not s...
This was last week's pick for TBR Thursday. If you know me, you know how obsessed I am with the Percy Jackson series. And I've been wanting to get into graphic novels for a few months now. It seems everyone is talking about them, especially as of lately. So I thought, since I already had this one...
This was a quick read,but kept me interested. I decided to read the series because of my fifth grade class. Since it was one of the few series I haven't read, I picked up the first one from my school library. Now I am going to read the rest. I work in a low income school and most of my students ...
A young adult adventure novel about the courage to take risks, doing the right thing, trust, and loyalty. The story is exciting and suspenseful; each chapter has a first line that makes you want to read more and a cliffhanger ending. Part “National Treasure” and part “Indiana Jones,” there is dan...
Esta historia me ha gustado mucho más que El Hijo de Sobek, no digo que el primero fuera malo, también me gustó mucho, pero este me ha gustado más que lo mucho que me gustó el otro. Buee, no importa. Realmente puedes ver la diferencia entre como manejan las cosas los chicos y las chicas, es graci...
Percy Jackson and the Olympians the ultimate guide is a great book.The book talks about Greek gods,myths,and demigods. It also talks about the book series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I like to recommend this book to people who are in to mythology. The thing I really like about this book is ...
A guide that is set up for fans of the series I think between books one and two. A basic understanding of a little bit of Egyptian mythology, magic, and the gods. It's a great little addition and I'm so happy I found it for a dollar at a book sale, because there was no way I was going to pay like...
My review is really 4.5 stars for a couple reasons. First, it has a good setup, a bunch of different authors create one book each to create a massive series (with TWO spin-offs & a collectible card "thing") "Round Robin" style.The story is good, two kids (Amy and Dan Cahill) find out that they ar...
This series was ok. I felt like this series was like a waterfall. What started out as really good started to fall and become boring. A series an have five or six books, but ten books and then starting a new series, is just too much. Around the eighth book, I just got bored. It felt too repetitive...
I thought when I finished the Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling, I would never ever love another book character as much as I have loved Harry. But when I met Percy Jackson, I could just say WOW. :)He's not perfect. He's clumsy. He lacks confidence all the time but let's give him the credit of b...
Cseppet sem vagyok zsibbadt, ha csak most kötöttem össze a dolgokat, hogy miért nem halt meg Luke a zuhanástól.Kedvenc részek kivágva, híres utolsó mondat kivágva, arcok nem jönnek be továbbra sem. A lények, a szörnyek és a tájak csodásak. (Rendben, Thalia fizimiskája bejön, vagány punk csajszi l...
I felt that my heart wasn't into it, but when I arrived to the story about Buford, well I was all in Fan Mode again (with the T-shirt of Demigod 4-ever, the white and bronze/gold scarf, the washable tattoo on my forearm, my bead necklace, my collection of famous weapons and collectable cards of m...
The Son of Sobekby Rick Riordan The Son of Sobek is an interesting story written by Rick Riordan, to combine the Percy Jackson series and the Kane C(K?)hronicles series. In the story, Carter Kane is searching to kill a crocodile monster, the monster being a son of Sobek (Egyptian god of croc...
NO SPOILERS: This book is great. It tells different Greek myths in a great way that is only capable of being told by Rick Riordan. It is told from the point of view of sassy preteen demigod Percy Jackson. (who has his own line of novels) Don't worry, you don't have to read Percy Jackson to read t...
Very enjoyable. I need some PJO after the end of the Heroes of Olyumpus. I listened to this one for free on an audiobook on YouTube. The sound quality was noticeably more tinny, but I am just glad I got to listen to it. So it starts with Annabeth on the NYC subway, stepping in cow pies Hera left ...
Awesome!!!!!!! I really liked this guide. It was really fun reading this. I loved this book so much.
The Lost Hero is the first book of The Heroes of Olympus. The story follows the event that happens a few years after the Percy Jackson series. The story begins at the Grand Canyon and a teenage boy name Jason suffering memory lost. He found out that he was with a group of people from wilderness s...
Although the entire Percy Jackson series was written with a young target audience in mind, this book is probably the most child-oriented. It featured mundane activities that kids most likely enjoy but made me feel embarrassed for reading this book in the first place. And the reason I read the b...
I really enjoyed it, it made me laugh a lot :) Seemed boring at first, but proved to be amazing just like any other PJ book
This story was released just when I was jonesing for a new Percy Jackson fix. Rick has tantalised us with the possibility of a PJO/Kane crossover by making it clear that the two stories exist in the same world. Ever since I read Uncle Amos talk about the 'other' gods that live in Manhattan I've b...
4.5 Probably the most entertaining introduction into Greek mythology I've read ever. I missed Percy.
I would totally recommend anyone to read this series. It is based on the Percy Jackson series another series I would also recommend. Even know reading the Percy Jackson series will make something's in the Heroes Of Olympus series make more since/funnier it is not irrelevant to read that series f...
My Magnus Chase Theories(Sorry if there are any Blood of Olympus spoilers)-Magnus and Annabeth are cousins (I know a lot of you have figured that much out, but based on the description of the book Annabeth's father has two siblings, a brother and a sister. The sister is Magnus' mother, who died. ...
Chiron looked surprised. “I thought that would be obvious enough. The entrance to the Underworld is in Los Angeles.”As someone who has worked in Los Angeles, I can tell you that this is completely accurate.While Harry Potter was spending his summers at the Dursleys, Percy Jackson attended Camp Ha...
This book was a bit of a letdown for me after The Lightning Thief. It was slow to start, especially considering this is the second book in a series and much of the foundation is already laid for us. There were monster battles early on, but it took a long time to focus in on the major issue in the...
Let me open by saying...Rick Riordan, I'm sorry for what I'm about to say. I'm an unpublished writer and I know the best I can hope for is that at some point some will like what I write, and some will well, rip it.I've not been "real complimentary' of these books up to this point, I gave each 3 s...
The fourth novel in the Percy Jackson series was rather polarizing for me. On the one hand, it represented an aggressive move from the usually harmless adventures of the young teens, to a darker and bloodier novel. I welcome the change, especially since I have complained in some of the novels tha...
