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!

I love greek mythology and I’d heard such praise about PJ that I had high hopes for the series. Did not deliver. Much sad.

Eurocentrism is a key feature of the world building. Uses ableist language uncritically throughout (e.g., the “c” word to refer to disability and the colloquial/derogatory use of the word “lame”)
