Percy Jackson Collection. The Lightning Thief, The Sea of Monsters, The Titan's Curse, The Battle of The Labyrinth, The Last Olympian and The Demigod Files by Rick Riordan
5.0
I had stumbled upon this so randomly that I think that most probably the Fates led me to start reading these series. It's a series that continues to hold a special place in my heart, and I just had to bring you my full review of this epic saga. It was "the beginning", "the game-changer" and everything for me as it turned tables around for me. Trust me, I AM NOT exaggerating. (No spoilers, of course!)
"The Lightning Thief," "The Sea of Monsters," "The Titan's Curse," "The Battle of the Labyrinth," and "The Last Olympian" make up the first saga of Percy Jackson and the Gods of Olympus. These books, narrated by Percy himself, take us on a thrilling adventure that blends Greek mythology with modern-day events. It's this unique blend that sets Rick Riordan's creations apart, infusing them with a refreshing sense of innovation.
Let's just say the first two books serve as an introduction to our beloved characters, setting the stage for the wild and dangerous escapades that follow. From the third book onwards, we witness their growth in the face of increasingly perilous situations. It's in the fourth and fifth books where the true essence of the saga takes shape, and we get to witness the characters' evolution and maturity. Trust me, once you're immersed in the story, you won't be able to resist continuing until the final showdown. This is an action-packed adventure series with an excellent pace and the events unfold one after another, ensuring that you're constantly engaged and never bored.
And don't forget Riordan's trademark humour, which indeed adds a delightful and personal touch to the "drama" unfolding.
But amidst all the battles and encounters with gods, Riordan also delves into the emotional aspects of the characters, tugging at your heartstrings. These books encompass a wide range of themes that resonate with readers of all ages. The characters' sense of humour, sarcasm, grit, determination, hope, and little bit of hero streak, makes you glued to the series.
The world Riordan creates is a meticulously crafted masterpiece, leaving no detail unexplored. His narrative style and excellent descriptions are so vividly portrayed that they effortlessly come to life in your imagination. The way he intertwines the gods with humans and seamlessly incorporates Greek mythology is nothing short of magical and truly admirable.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a saga that I wholeheartedly recommend, and I will never tire of recommending it to everyone I meet. Once you dive into this enchanting world, created by the ingenious mind of Rick Riordan, you'll yearn to return and become a part of it. It's an adventure brimming with valuable life lessons and mythology, accompanied by unforgettable characters that will forever hold a place on your bookshelf.
(PS: Do not dare to skip out on Heroes of Olympus. It gets really much better in the upcoming series. You'd definitely love it more!... Sorry Percy Jackson series.)
