With The Last Olympian, Rick Riordan perfectly wraps up the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. 

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?

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

The battle of the labyrinth remains my favourite but this is a close second. You can really see how Percy develops as a person and everyone around him is impacted for the better. This book is so well written and even though I was rereading it so I knew the plot twists, a few still caught me by surprise. Incredibly enjoyable read. I can't wait to start the next series.
