I guess it was nice... Not as fun-filled as most special editions are but enjoyable. The puzzles were just meh... But it was a nice change to read more of the fun-filled short stories that I can laugh at. The stories were funny and adorable. But the last story, it felt like the writer (Rick Riordan's son) tried to cram too much meaning and mysteriousness along with serious anger at the gods and monsters and stuff into a little chapter. He basically tried to shorten a full teenage novel with lots of emotional turmoil into thirty small pages, you know? But other than that, the book was very satisfying. I just wish it was longer. Gah, I can't wait for more books anymore!!
I'd definitely recommend reading this. And I definitely recommend reading it somewhat in the publication sequence. So like read it between books 2 and 3! Or maybe read it after you finished all 10 main series books like me, I still thought it was wonderful.This is a good read. Definitely more than just supplemental to the series in my opinion. I had read some really negative reviews about Riordan's son's story but I even liked that. It didn't feel like Rick Riordan writing, but I mean that wasn't necessarily terrible. It did leave me wondering if his dad told him the little bits of canon that are pretty relevant to the entire universe or if he made everything up???
5 stars to Luke and Percy's story in the book.
Interesting intro to heroes of olympus
