The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
4.0

The Last Olympian is the final instalment in the Percy Jackson series, and it has been a very fun journey. The end was also a very satisfying journey, with all the minor plot details being wrapped up and tied neatly in a bow. However, there was certainly the opportunity for more books to be written including different characters in the future, but I think that this book for me is the end of my journey with this world. It has been a lot of fun, but I think the strength lay in the original series.

Probably like a few people, this book was not actually my favourite book in the series. I always tend to find that final books are a tad disappointing to me in some way, because everything seems to become 'happy ever after', which I know would break my heart if it didn't, but it is all a little predictable. My favourite book in the series was actually the fourth instalment, The Battle of the Labyrinth was actually my favourite. This is because it was a little less predictable.

Overall, this is a very strong, fun series that delves into greek-mythology in a light way. It certainly makes me want to pick up more greek-mythology books because I look everything to do with the gods. If anybody has any good Greek-mythology book recommendations, please let me know, I'd love to hear them!
