The Review:

The Last Olympian is the series' fifth and final installment, and what an installment it is. Many of the most common themes in children's literature are featured in this series and book. A young hero embarks on a quest with a group of friends, a prophecy guides the journey, and a battle between good and evil are among them. These themes are combined with the modern world to produce a work of fiction that appeals to a wide range of readers.

I wasn't anticipating the excellent conclusion this book had since the buildup was amazing and generally the finish is often ruined by a variety of circumstances, but it wasn't in this book, and all the anticipation was accurate.

I believe approximately two-thirds of this book was dedicated to the fight that the entire series had been building up to, which was brilliant since it made it feel so enormous and momentous. There were no last-minute surprises, no circumventing the necessary warfare and attrition. It lives up to the grandiosity and epicness that has been promised since volume one.

Rick Riordan's writing style is distinct from that of other children's authors. He writes in a straightforward manner that children can understand and relate to. It is also an excellent book for young children to read. His book's plot is so well-developed that the reader will want to keep turning the pages.

I discovered one minor flaw, which is actually a compliment, in all of the books in this series: the books are too short for me. Although they are aimed at a younger audience, I believe they are also appropriate for adults. So my main complaint is that I wish I could read a little more of each book, say, an extra 50 pages would make it even better. The author usually moves quickly through the story and skips over the inbetweeners, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Because it gives the impression of a fast-paced story, and the reader is unable to put the book down if the action is well written, which the author excels at.

However, I believe Riordan outdid himself with The Last Olympian. This is without a doubt the greatest book in the series, and it brings everything up to a satisfactory climax. Now comes the time when you realize the series is over, and you must decide what to do next. I found other books and series by the author to be just as wonderful as this series, and I would suggest all of his work to people who like to read mythology-based novels like the Percy Jackson series.

Final Thoughts:

All of the Percy Jackson books were fantastic. It was amazing to see how everything came together in the end, with no loose ends. I like how these books don't leave anything up for interpretation and thoroughly explain the plot. It was great! I enjoyed every minute of the journey! I'm sure a lot of readers will start missing the main characters right away because they're so easy to relate to.

Once again, a message to Harry Potter fans: if you're looking for something as amazing and exciting as Harry Potter, start reading this series. I'm sure you'll miss it even more than Harry Potter once you finish it, but don't worry, this author has a lot of books like this, and you'll be able to enjoy all of these amazing stories for a long time until someone invents another great character and stories revolving around him/her. So simply read and enjoy yourself, and don't be afraid to branch out since each book you read will almost certainly introduce you to a new favorite character or series.

If your children are hooked to Harry Potter and can't seem to find anything else to read, don't forget to introduce them to this series, which contains everything that the Harry Potter series has to offer, plus even more, such as Greek and Roman gods and demigods (did I mention the main cast is also made up of demigods). If you trust me, you and your children will not be disappointed.

Synopsis:

“All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of victory are grim. Kronos's army is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil Titan's power only grows. While the Olympians struggle to contain the rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Now it's up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time.

In this momentous final book in the New York Times best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, the long-awaited prophecy surrounding Percy's sixteenth birthday unfolds. And as the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate.”
