The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

adventurous dark mysterious reflective tense

4.5

 It's my first time reading the series and I really liked book one. I remember watching the movie when I was younger, so the plot wasn't new to me but reading the book was also very enjoyable.  I always love having elements of Greek mythology in the modern world and I think Rick Riordan did an amazing job in weaving together the ancient myths and real world. The series is listed as middle-grade so the story was very easy to follow. I found some moments a little bit to cruel for the recommended age but I didn't mind and I'm sure I would have loved those books as a kid! 
I'm super excited to continue this series and I'm looking forward to the new Disney+ series now!
