This is the first book of each of the three greek-based series Rick Riordan wrote. I would not suggest reading a compilation like this, as to finish it you have to read 8 other books in addition to this one. The reviews for each book are as follows:

Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief: 5 stars, amazing book!! It got me hooked on Rick Riordan's books. His world building is amazing and I loved every moment!

The lost heroes of Olympus: 5 stars amazing book!! Same as before with the added bonus having having Roman lore!

The trials of Apollo: 2 stars, absolutely horrendous. It had very little plot and was just a set up for the series. Also, Apollo was INSUFFERABLE. I know that was the point but OMG it was so bad.

This was a nice book to read after finishing The Battle of the Labryinth, kinda like a refresher. Since it is part of the same universe, it felt as if I didn't leave at all. There wasn't much in this book since it's a short story, so there wasn't much character development and would only be enjoyable if you read the other books(obviously).
