I only intended to read the first book before December, when the new series is out. However, loved the series so much that I binged through the first 5 books, to read everything else that Rick Riordan has written.
As someone who is Dyslexic and Autistic, I identify with a lot of the characters and I would always recommend reading the series.

As this book was supposed to be when the great prophecy happens, it'll take you on the greatest, most intense battle of all the books in the series. Honestly, the first few chapters of the book were boring for me, and then too much is happening in the middle, until the mystery started to unravel, and the battle started getting intense. It was so thrilling!
As always, the world-building was on top, as the Greek mythology collided perfectly with the modern world. The characters were diverse, yet there's no waste of it, even the supporting characters play significant roles. I think this book picks up heavily on the themes of family and friendship, and it successfully delivered the message.
The writing style was actually good, just not my cup of tea. Someone said that Harry Potter is written in millennial and Percy Jackson more like Gen Z, and I like Harry Potter's writing style more, even though both are good.
Some things may have changed from the original Greek mythology to fit the storyline, but it was evident that Rick Riordan did an excellent job researching the history. This may not be my favorite book of the series, but I still think "The Last Olympian" is worth reading.

Not gonna say much except that this was the best percy jackson book imo. Everything came together and it was so well-written, I read over half the book in one day because the story gripped me so much I couldn’t stop
