Book excerpt: All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of victory are grim. This book was released on 13 August 2019 with total page null pages. However, for me, the secondary characters appeared a little too funny, even when they were supposed to be threatening.Download or read book entitled The Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Last Olympian: The Graphic Novel written by Rick Riordan and published by Disney Electronic Content online. The main characters – including the first person protagonist – were interesting, fun and delightful to observe. Still, I think the environs were adequately defined. “Remarkable, really, the lengths to which humans will go to fit things into their version of reality.”īeing a children’s story, it’s understandable that character building plays the bigger role compared to setting up the environment. This is a wonderful little story, and hopefully the first of many, of an interesting series. And when things turn out better than expected – like it did with Lightening Thief – life is beautiful.
But still, one cannot help but be somewhat anxious while starting a new series, for things could go either way. I know it’s children’s book, but when has that ever stopped me. Given how well received this book is (and the entire series), I was looking forward to continue my fantasy to-read list with Percy Jackson and the Olympians for a while now. Then, when you’re done, give it to a kid to read too. I would have enjoyed it even more ten years ago. I enjoyed it now, despite me being a good ten years older than the target audience. On top of the powerful message, this is a fast-paced exciting fantasy story full of friendships, Greek mythology, magic, mystery, bad guys and girls, and constant adventure. Percy Jackson finding out he is the son of a god and has his own super powers. Children in the middle of WWII discovering a secret world through a wardrobe door in which they reign as royalty. The nerdy loser-ish Peter Parker developing special abilities and becoming Spiderman. The orphaned and neglected Harry Potter discovering he is a wizard. It’s the same idea that we all loved to buy into. But who cares? The best kids books are all about wish fulfillment to some extent and it’s not like Percy Jackson doesn’t have his fair share of enemies and heartache. I know, I know – this is plain old childhood wish fulfillment at its finest.
