Review: The Last Olympian

The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I finished this series and I don't know how to feel.

It was a lot of fun.

This one got a little dark though, WOW.

WARNING: This review contains spoilers for the previous books.

Plot: Here we are at the last book of the series, so things are getting serious. It's time for Percy and co to finally take down Kronos, Typhon and the rest of the titan army. Plus there's that whole 'prophecy' thing about Percy maybe destroying all the gods with his bad choices so I guess don't make any rash decisions, buddy.

So, because it's the last book, ALLLLLLL the monsters have come to say goodbye. This is fun. I still can't get over seal-dogs being evil. But it's not all battles because Percy still has a few things to figure out, like how to tell Rachel he's quite obviously madly in love with Annabeth.

Okay, honesty time: Was totally more interested in Percy an Annabeth finally getting together than any of the titans vs gods stuff.

But the battle is still good and it still name drops gods and monsters and in classic series form, there's a nod to a particular myth. These are the kinds of things that have entertained me the entire way through the series so was really glad that was still here.

I can't really blather on about it too much. The entire series has been really entertaining and this book was no different. It brought everything together and tied it up without being too heavy on drama.

It's an epic conclusion to the series, with a sneaky nod to a follow up that will keep your god-loving heart happy.
