Review

PRAISE FOR THE LOST HERO

"Readers longing for a return to Camp Half-Blood will get their wish.... ...the action scenes come frequently as the three heroic teens fight monstrous enemies in North American locales..... Flashes of humor lighten the mood at times, but a tone of urgency and imminent danger seems as integral to this series as the last. With appealing new characters within a familiar framework, this spin-off will satisfy the demand for more."―
Booklist

PRAISE FOR THE SON OF NEPTUNE

"Should pacing and wit continue unabated into the third volume, whose foretold European setting promises further freshness, fans will eagerly await numbers four and five."―
Kirkus

PRAISE FOR THE MARK OF ATHENA

"With a true storyteller's sense of pacing, Riordan creates another compelling adventure, right down to the cliff-hanger at the end. Stay tuned for volume four."―
Booklist

A tale of hero’s and sacrifice loved every word of it. I hope to see more of the Roman demigod stories in the future
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2016
They have been every bit as exciting as the first series, which I read a couple times as they are a quick relaxing way to past time, like watching a cherish movie.  Percy Jackson and the Olympians 5 Book Paperback Boxed Set (new covers w/poster) (Percy Jackson & the Olympians)  (And they really just take a bit longer than watching movie to read but is just as pleasant.)

This new series is complete page turner, engaging interesting characters, a compelling plot, and a great read all around regardless of your age. I read the whole three books in a couple days, during bus rides and breaks.

The set arrived in perfect condition and despite being paperback they are good quality paper and covers (not those transparent flimsy sheets some paperbacks come with), I believe the can withstand quite a few re-reads and moving around in my backpack.

I am currently waiting for the other two to arrive I've heard they aren't as good but either way I want to know how it all works out.

The first three books of this series are really good but shortly after the third book is when this series loses its potential, and direction. However, this is a bargain deal right here, your favorite characters are back along with some new friends on both sides of Greek and Roman mythology; diving deep into the strife of the Greek and Roman's long begrudging history with a twist of modern day heroes to settle what could tear apart of world, it's a nice way of growing with your beloved characters from the first book to getting to know these new characters. The use of the mythology is great and what not but the whole love triangles and love interest kinda threw me off but hey I guess that's part of getting older, meeting teenager issues. It just felt it was unnecessary or overly done.

I bought this book set for my 8-year old (as a gift for his great progress report) and it was delivered on May 1, 2015. As of today, May 9th, he has finished the entire set. His DS and TV were relegated to secondary status. If that is not a testament to how good these books are, I do not know what is. He could not put it down. I thought he would get into the Harry Potter series and I was excited to have him read them along with Chronicles of Narnia, but the Greek and Roman mythology interwoven throughout the series and the adventures the characters go through in each book won this third grader over.

This particular book set only has the first three books (The Lost Hero, The Son of Neptune, and The Mark of Athena) of the five book series. House of Hades (4th book) and the Blood of Olympus (5th and final book) are not included. They are quite lengthy, average 400 pages each or so, and can make your child spend a significant amount of time reading (which may not be a bad thing). I love the story of how author Rick Riordan started this whole Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus series from storytime with his children. I still hope he will get into Harry Potter and Chronicles of Narnia (amongst other great children classic series) but I am glad that there are books like the Heroes of Olympus series that can fuel and sustain his love of reading.

My 9 year old son absolutely loves these books. He's quite a good reader for his age and it's difficult to find things that are both appropriate and interesting. The Difficulty is that he wants to read books that have inappropriate subject matter because books that are written for his age are too easy and can read them in a little over an hour. These books are great, as are the other series by this author. They are fun, they're interesting, they aren't scary and they are appropriate content for any child or adult who wants to read them. I say adult becuase they are a fun read for anyone! The author has just released two books for two new series and I'm so excited for these as well. Highly recommended

What a fantastic series! My 8 year old couldn't put them down. (Every parents dream) I'm not sure if they are generally good for 8 year olds but he reads at a level T or Lexile 880ish for comparison.

They were challenging enough for him to increase comprehension and vocabulary but not too difficult. The series does seem to get increasingly difficult as it goes on but it was never too hard.

This series sparked a love for learning about the Greek/ Roman Gods and the time period in general.

I highly recommend these books. Even if your child is only able to listen to you read, the story line is quite enjoyable for adults.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Trio to Start
Reviewed in Canada on February 14, 2024
While it's a little difficult to get through the first one without the presence of Persassy himself - it's a great introduction to some excellent characters. The new quest is intense, and once they all come together things really take off.

Enjoy the end of Mark of Athena, learn why it's one of the most quoted pieces online :')
