Percy Jackson Series

I am too lazy to write five posts on one series so this will be condensed into one.

Number of books: 5


Summary: Percy Jackson is a teenager living in New York with his mom. Problem is, he keeps getting kicked out of school. He finally finds one where everything is normal and has a great friend named Grover. Everything is going pretty well until one of his teachers turns into a harpy and attacks him. Yup. You heard me. A harpy. Turns out Percy is a demi-god. This means that he is half god and half human. That's awesome. So he goes to a camp to help him train to control his powers and find out who his dad is, which is Poseidon. I am telling you because its not essential to the story line. He meets a girl named Annabeth, who is the daughter of Athena and Grover turns out to be a satyr and his teacher is a centaur. Fun. He battles monsters as the evil Kronos tries to rise to power. He also has to complete all these prophesies, with one being the big one that a kid of the big three (Hades, Zeus and Poseidon) will determine the course of the world.


Thoughts: So. Frickin. GOOOOOOOOOD. Omg omg omg. I absolutely looooove books with greek mythology incorporated into it. Its sooooo good. There is fighting, comedy, little bit of rrrromance and above all, awesome story line. Its an amazing series and I am so happy Rick Riordan is doing another Camp Half Blood series.

Rating: 9.4
