This was SUCH an amazing ending to a truly enjoyable series! I can see why so many of my students were drawn to this series. Riordan managed to end things on such a fantastic note while still leaving a little trail for us to follow to the sister series! 

Throughout this journey, I have fallen in love with the characters and the world that Riordan brought to life. He made my drives to work even more enjoyable and I found myself being absorbed into the story! I am also so glad that I made the decision to listen to the audiobook for this series. I feel like it added just a little more immersion for me. 

I am also so, so, so glad that Luke was redeemed in the end. His entire storyline was such a tragic one and I am so glad he was able to be redeemed before he died. I kind of hope that we one day get a version of the series from his point of view. Perhaps in an alternate universe...

I am currently taking a break from Camp Half Blood and am diving into the very dark world of Panem. I am doing this deliberately because I know I will need the comfort of Riordan's world and words after having my heart ripped out by Suzanne Collins.
