Finally, I finished the series after 3 years. Actually, these books are my door to the book community on Twitter, Instagram, and anywhere else. I remember I considered reading this or Harry Potter, and I chose this. I was weighing the option with financial matter in mind, actually. I was glad because it's written lightheartedly for a beginner as a reader like me.

I remember I really liked the first and the second books, but after that, it's kinda disappointing for me. That's why it took me so long to finish the books. The controversy about the author really makes me unmotivated to finish it, but I'm glad I did it so I don't make another unfinished book in my reading list. Besides, it's not that bad except that at some point, I questioned the author's choice to put unnecessary comedy in between the part of the books. Besides that it's really fun to read.

I probably not gonna touch anything the author's made for a long time even though I know he made another continuation of the series for personal reasons. I will keep this memory of Percy Jackson in my heart, though.
