My twelve-year old obsessed with Greek mythology self would’ve eaten this series up. Such a fun adventure with great world building and characters. While I haven’t seen the film or new show, I could picture everything happening as I read making my own. 

I will at some point finish the series, but overall great first book. Major bonus points for the Hilary Duff, “So Yesterday” reference too.
