The heroes of Olympus - a book review by free quill
Welcome back to my blog guys. This is me free quill and this is a book review on the Heroes of Olympus series. I actually got the paperback version of these five books as a box set in crosswords.
📖 Book Review: The Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan
⭐ Overall Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)
🔍 Series Overview:
The Heroes of Olympus is the thrilling sequel series to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, written by Rick Riordan. It follows a new prophecy and introduces new demigod heroes like Jason, Piper, and Leo, while still bringing back favorites like Percy and Annabeth. The series blends Greek and Roman mythology, creating a unique and action-packed storyline.
The five books in the series are:
-
The Lost Hero
-
The Son of Neptune
-
The Mark of Athena
-
The House of Hades
-
The Blood of Olympus
✨ What I Loved:
-
The characters: Leo’s humor, Annabeth’s intelligence, Percy’s bravery, and the new heroes’ unique strengths kept me hooked.
-
The plot twists: Every book ends with a cliffhanger that made me want to start the next one immediately.
-
Mythology: I learned so much about both Greek and Roman myths while having fun.
-
Friendship and teamwork: The bond between the seven demigods is inspiring, and their teamwork in dangerous situations is a big highlight.
🧐 What Some Readers Might Find Tough:
-
The series gets more complex with more characters and two mythologies mixing together. Some readers might prefer the simpler, fast-paced nature of the original Percy Jackson series.
💬 Favorite Quote:
“Leo wondered what would happen if he asked the god of cyber-cafes for help.”
🧠 Final Thoughts:
This series is a must-read for anyone who loves mythology, adventure, and relatable heroes. It’s deeper and more mature than the original Percy Jackson series, but still full of Riordan’s trademark humor and heart. If you haven’t read it yet—start with The Lost Hero and get ready for an epic ride!
