I read this series years and years ago in Dutch, but I finally got myself the English versions last year and I was just in the mood to reread them. Plus the series is coming out next year, so I thought I would already start preparing. So, that's on my reading agenda for July.
Need I really give a review though? It's Percy Jackson, it's great, it's amazing, it's engaging and funny and fast paced without feeling rushed and all the characters are well done.Â
I'm remembering all of the feelings I had from when I first read these. Especially the way I secretly hoped I was a demigod too (as I'm sure we all did when reading the PJ series, don't lie).Â
But it's also fun discovering all the new things I'm noticing, like the fact that Percy has MAJOR bi vibes. His crush on Luke is almost as big as Annabeth's.Â
This is such a nostalgia trip for me and a nice break from the dense nonfiction book I'm also reading at the moment.Â
If you haven't read the Percy Jackson series, my dude, get on this RIGHT NOW.

I've included content warnings just in case, but to be aware that this was very well written for a middle grade audience and remains very appropriate despite the high stakes.sophie42's review against another edition
