Definitely my comfort series.

I have held up this series so high since middle school and I’m so glad it stood up to those standards. I was known as the mythology girl in my high school Latin class because of this series (and also because I was terrible at latin).

Percy is such a phenomenal main character. I love how much he reminds me of Peter Parker. He’s so sassy but also so loving and cares deeply for the important people in his life like his mom and Grover. I can’t wait to watch him grow throughout the next 4 books.

I love the way Rick writes. It’s full of story yet fast paced. Tense and serious but also hilarious and light hearted. He pulls in greek myths and also creates his own world which is robust and accessible. It’s really a remarkable feat.

I’m so happy to have grown up with these books and now will get to experience a true adaptation with the new series.
