Last Olympian | Rick Riordan

Oh, my. What an ending! You know, with this book, I did what I always do with the great stories I have the good luck to find. I leave them for days, but not because they are bad, but because I don‘t want to finish them.

Unabridged Audiobook (10/10):
Genuinely one of the greatest conclusions to a five book story I‘ve ever seen. It‘s been a very long time since I first read these Percy Jackson books, but to know that they still (and will continue to) stand the test of time makes me so incredibly happy.

On its own, this story is so heartfelt in the messages it presents, the sacrifices we witness, and even the betrayals showcased throughout.

Oh dear, adding the August books to the windowsill has created a bit of a traffic jam! 😂 Plus I still have to find out what my August #TrappedonanIsland read(s) will be!! This also doesn't include the six chapter-a-day(ish) books I'll be reading as well because I definitely do not have a problem!!

For the immediate #WeeklyForecast - I actually have DNF'd two Kindle books since yesterday, so those are slowly getting cleared out. Starting the ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) tagged book this morning, which will finish another series!! 🎉 Hoping to read The Railway Children for #ChildrensClassicsRead sooner rather than later this month as Exposure is supposedly the same story except from the POV of the adults, so I'm quite intrigued to read it. The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip is an ARC review due soon, so that will probably be this week as well. The Hidden One is Castillow's latest Kate Burkholder ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) mystery from the library and will be due soon, so it's also fairly high on the priority list. Otherwise, I'm just continuing my random draw from this pile to see what comes next!! We picked, sorted, and sold about 350 pecks of peaches plus a million blackberries last week and are anticipating even more this coming week, so things are busy at the orchard!!

6 Jun-3 Jul 2021 (audiobook)
The final instalment of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I enjoyed the resolution and Percy‘s choice of gift from the gods. And seeing the NYC statues come to ‘life‘ as automatons would be pretty cool. Hoping the Disney Tv series is a success and we get to see that part. Beatrix was restless towards the end - we won‘t go on to any of the other books just yet.

I'm so proud of Percy! All the odds are always against him, but he still makes the right choices. All my favorite characters played a role in this last part. There was a lot of battle going on, which I normally don't like, but it so much changed every page; new monsters, new allies and enemies, new tactics. This book was a wonderful end to the first part of the series. I'm glad I re-read it!

The final battle spans over almost the entire book, at least 260 out of 360 pages.
Also, I lived for Percy‘s and Annabeth‘s relationship in this.
I loved the theme of people being both good and bad. There were those who betrayed the Camp, and yet still saved the day.
I thought that Clarisse was kind of done dirty in this book. For most of the book, she‘s away, refusing to fight because of a silly disagreement.

This is my least favorite of the series. I can't put my finger on any specific reason. Maybe because it's darker than the others and doesn't have as much of the humor. It's still a great series overall, and the audio narration is decent.

Continuing on with the #NarniaReadalong even though I‘m usually a couple days behind. Rereading these books is a joy.

Finished was a book I didn‘t expect Libby to deliver for another few weeks, and it was fantastic. Peace Like a River is for my book group. And finally finishing the Percy Jackson series. And I‘ll get back to Jane Jacobs soon, I hope.

One of the most emotional books I had the honor of rereading. Rick Riordan found a way to make us fall in love with all the characters in this world. Definitely will be a book I make my children read one day when I have them. Lol.

I didn‘t want to start this one because I already didn‘t want it to end. I enjoyed these 5 books and this one is special as the conclusion. It was the culmination of the other books and became more exciting and fast paced as it went. I plan to read some of the other books by Riordan.

Re-reading this whole series as an adult and in English was a wonderful treat. I read all five books from Friday to Sunday, and I was both proud of myself for still remembering a lot but also happy that I was again surprised by many plot twists. Next on my Riordan list is a first read of The Kane Chronicels!

The final battle for Olympus is drawing near and Camp Halfblood has been doing everything in its power to help prevent Kronos taking over.

This was probably my least favorite in the entire series and was actually pretty hard to get through due to my lack of interest at times. Check out my Goodreads review for more on that: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2618973882

One of the big things I want to do before the end of year is to try and finish off some of the series is still have on my shelves. Here‘s my #crushtherush tbr. Fingers crossed that I‘ll be able to get through a decent chunk of these but being a mood reader, you may never know lol.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick The Last Olympian is on my list, too. I don't love the series so I'm seriously dragging my ass on finishing it off. 3y
Schnoebs @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick same! It‘s fun but it‘s not keeping my attention. I‘ve been watching a bunch of “read with me”s and sprints on YouTube to get me through this book but it‘s still dragging 🙄 3y

I enjoyed this one a hair more than the others in the series simply because the stakes are higher. Finally we have the big titan v god battle, which takes up maybe half of the book. I wasn't sure if I'd want to continue on with the other Riordan books (Percy is slightly irritating with exactly zero character growth, even though he ages from 12 to 16 in the course of the series), but I do enjoy reading these silly things.

The final installment of Percy Jackson and The Olympians. This one was full of action right from the start and just never lost its momentum, the action just kept coming and coming. There was some tear jerking moments but overall it‘s a great solid end the series. I‘m excited to get a hold of the next series and finally continue reading the rest of the World Riordan created.

The Percy Jackson books are just plain fun, and this installment builds to the epic Battle of Manhattan. When all seems lost, in rides #TheCavalry, aka the children of Ares, to slay the drakon. #TropesInAugust

Finished it in 3 days. Loved the final book and finally my shipping was satisfied. 😜 Action packed as all the rest, heartwarming, and surprising! I soooooo wish the series didn‘t end. What will I read now?!?!? 😭 While I want more, the ending was satisfying, so it‘s not like I‘ve been left hanging on a cliff.

A very good end to the series. Lots of action and great character building/maturing. I appreciate that Riordan trusts his readers enough to know that there need to be some sacrifices along the way for a good book and that not all characters can survive to the end if you want your conflict to be viewed realistically. Also, I'm very thankful that the Heroes of Olympus series exists. Because I need so much more of this mythological fun.

June 10, 2019 - July 8, 2019.

I chose this book to finish the series.

This book is a sequel from“The Battle of the Labyrinth“. Percy leads his friends onto an ultimate stand to protect Mount Olympus from Kronos and his army of titans and monsters. At the end, Percy killed Luke, who was possessed by Kronos, by stabbing him. SUddenly, the Gods came to fight Kronos, but Percy and his friends already took care of it. This ends the series.
