I have mixed feelings about this series, but it was an interesting overall story arc of understanding what it means to be human.
I enjoyed seeing different characters in each book. I know this isn’t the last CHB book as we have The Sun and The Star coming in 2023 as well as a new Percy, Annabeth, and Grover book.
Was this series entirely necessary? I’m not so sure. It had very high stakes, but it all seemed to be solved much more quickly than the other series’ plots.
Regardless, I love this wee CHB world and all the characters. Uncle Rick, thank you once more.
