Welcome to Litsy!

The Forgotten Dead was my favourite in October. Ship of Magic just won out, I love both but SoM has a lot of nostalgia

I'm keeping my Wild Card until the end of the year. I've got a few books already in mind

I have totally lost the plot when it comes to #RealmofElderlings and #RiordanverseReadalong

#ReadingBracket2025

#RiordanverseReadalong is leaving the Kane siblings behind and moving on to Magnus Chase!

We'll be reading the Sword of Summer in September. I'm very excited, I've heard good things about this series

There are buddy reads on SG for anyone that wants to join

I'll do a final post for the Kane Chronicles beginning of September with the book rankings

During August we'll be reading the last book in the Kane Chronicles - The Serpent's Shadow. The Kane siblings must battle Apophis and save the world.

How have you been finding the books so far? Excited to read the final book?

I haven't enjoyed this series as much as others. I've been finding the characters frustrating and the romances are questionable

#RiordanverseReadalong

I'm not sure I'll carry on with this series, I'm finding it incredibly boring and I'm losing patience with the characters.

The world is ending in 5 days and there's no urgency. The MCs go off to do non related things. It's so frustrating especially when other RR books have that urgency, that tension, and danger.

I enjoyed it. The magic was very different and I liked how the gods were portrayed.

#RiordanverseReadalong has finished the Heroes of Olympus series

Here is the book club's rating of all of the books. Do you agree? Disagree?

Son of Neptune was definitely my favourite

This entire series was boring. I don't think I was ever going to love it because I'm a Latinist. Riordan's interpretation of Rome and Roman religion annoyed me.

Even ignoring that element, there were too many characters and POVs. It really slowed the book down and I honestly didn't care about many of the characters.

Also, not sure if it's my ace showing but damn did I not care about the teen romances.

#RiordanverseReadalong

Like a lot of Riordan's books, this was very formulaic, repetitive, and too long. It was an underwhelming book for me.

I liked the magic, the different take on divinity and divine children, and the world building.
