The Demigod Files by Rick Riordan
5.0
If I can’t have another full PJO or LHOO book, at least I’ve got this and Demigod Diaries/PJ’s guide to gods and Greek heroes. These will keep me sustained.
WIL
1) YOOO THE INTREPID AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM. I ONLY FOUND OUT THIS EXISTED LIKE LAST WEEK. RELEVANCE!
2) the INTERVIEWS (embodying characters done RIGHT). God this was really well done. Rick really GETS his characters. He made them so well that he can step into their skin and speak as them for “interviews” no problemo. The interviews were completely consistent with the characters and just plain fun to read.
3) Iapetus to Bob origin story. This is what I was missing in the heroes of Olympus series. This was mentioned more than once and became SUPER important towards the end there, and finally! I have the context!
4) bonus content. Who doesn’t love a good crossword puzzle?
5) Rick as a self insert scribe for CHB. Ha! Got a kick out of that. Cool and creative. Vaguely similar to some of JKR’s tactics
WIDL
1) too short. PJO and TLHOO are my only source of serotonin these days. Need more content to keep my brain functioning
2) as a counter to 2) on WIL: The opening story with Clarisse and Percy felt a little...I dunno- off center? Off kilter? Something about it just didn’t quite align with the characters as I know them.
