this was such a nostalgic read :’) i’d been wanting to re-read (and finish) the percy jackson series for many years, and especially after having watched the disney+ series as that was coming back. returning to the source material was like returning to a world i forgot i once adored. and can i say this is a rare occasion i really love the cover for the new edition more than the one i grew up with? so fun!

Funny, beautiful, adventurous. The writing style is attention grabbing. The storyline of

the mother's abusive relationship

was handled with a surprising amount of grace for a children's book, coming from someone who is critical of the blithe writing around women.

The first book to an amazing coming-of-age story with a godly twist! I absolutely love this book and it really sets up an incredible and immersive universe for the whole series. I've always been fascinated by ancient gods and demi-gods and this story brings it all in a modern light. Fantastic and fun read! Plus I highly recommend the Disney+ show! It's pretty accurate (much more so than the movies since the author was actually involved lol) and modernizes it all even more!

Obsessed with everything about this series. It's been over a year since I've read this series, but I remember so much about it. Percy is very relatable, and I love all of the characters so much. There's something about the way that Rick Riordan writes that you just immediately get sucked into every book. I would 100% reccommend every one of his books!
