kathrynleereads's review against another edition
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
This book starts and ends with heartbreak, but is filled with heartwarming, funny, and game-changing interactions. Plus some more heartbreak.
I don't think the Percy Jackson series could have been wrapped up better than it was with The Last Olympian.
Questions were answered, battles were fought, and characters got closure. What more could you want from a series finale?
Graphic: Violence and War
Moderate: Grief, Injury/Injury detail, Death, Toxic friendship, and Emotional abuse
Minor: Blood

Also, interesting observation: after having read Song of Achilles a few weeks ago, I absolutely loved the parallels Rick Riordan had made between the Battle of Troy and the Battle of Manhattan. Spoilers for Song of Achilles below:
Now, is the hero I'm speaking of Clarisse or Achilles? The friend, Silena or Patroclus? The foe, the drakon or Hector? And the leader of the opposing army, Kronos or Paris?
All that to say, I believe that Clarisse and Silena were secretly dating behind Beckendorf and Chris Rodriguez's backs, or at least in love with each other. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
