Great Books. I hate that it ended onna cliff hanger Rick Riordan should make of these books. Me and my brother love it and we want Rick Riordan Nice read, greek and roman mythology explained in a pretty simple way. Overall a nice series and different from the Percy Jackson saga. If you enjoyed the original Percy Jackson books then I would highly recommend you give these books a try.
I loved the first set of Percy Jackson books. I originally hesitated getting this set of books because the description of the first book makes it sound like it is a complete new set of characters. SPOILER ALERT!!!: I was delighted when the original characters return to take central roles with the new characters.
The story is a great expansion to the original set of books and once I warmed to the new characters they are very likeable with their own intriguing back origins. This is a huge, unique story. Ideal for teens and adults. If you like myths, then all the Riordan universe is for you. these were such good books. i was so addicted, i coudnt stop. all of it was good and and lots of it was funny. i definitely suggest this book as long as you've read percy Jackson first. one of my favourite books ever English
Now available for the first time: all five novels from the amazing Heroes of Olympus series, collected in one stunning digital edition.
Join the Heroes of Olympus Percy Jackson and friends for an adventure like no other.
When Jason, Piper and Leo crash land at Camp Half Blood, they have no idea what to expect. Apparently this is the only safe place for children of the Greek Gods.
Despite the monsters roaming the woods and demigods practising archery with flaming arrows and explosives some things just have to be taken on trust.
But now rumours of a terrible curse and a missing hero are flying around camp. And it seems Jason, Piper and Leo are the chosen ones to embark on a terrifying new quest
And when Percy Jackson wakes up with no memory of his past, its clear things are only just beginning.
Heroes of Olympus: The Complete Series includes all three novels in the incredible series from Rick Riordan: The Lost Hero, The Son of Neptune, The Mark of Athena, The House of Hades and The Blood of Olympus Heroes of Olympus: The Complete Series (Books 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
A great series overall from start to finish. Managed to finish all 5 books over a period of 4 days likely shows how engrossed I was. I very much enjoyed the first Arc in the world with the Percy Jackson books which I very much enjoyed and this is largely of the same. If you enjoyed that series you will mostly like this series also which makes it worth picking up.
As the name implies and the blurb's, there are a lot Hero's in this book rather then mostly focusing on Percy Jackson in the first series. This allows for some fresh new character's powers, view points etc.
This for me is also a slight weakness and why it loses a star. At times when its the main characters view point, they are very much capable individuals. However when reading from another characters viewpoint, it seems other characters who were the POV chapter before become dumb all of a sudden. In a way its to shine the spotlight on all the Hero's and allow them to show why they matter to the team, but its stretched a tad too much IMO.
Overall however if you like the previous books, this box set is well worth picking up. I absolutely loved these books. As a 37 year old, I don’t think I am the desired demographic, but I found them to be humorous, well written and informative. I absolutely flew through them, and enjoyed every second. I found myself being educated about the gods in a really refreshing way.
I am going to buy physical copies of Ricks Percy Jackson books to tempt my niece and nephews into his fabulous world of adventure. The product iss very nice, and I enjoyed reading it Once you start reading, it's difficult to stop. Paper quality is good and as for the package, there were a few errors on the corners, and it slightly affected the book set too.. But the books are good and worth buying. You don't have to have read the Percy Jackson books to enjoy these but if you have read them I would definitely recommend this series. It is great to see the same characters back from Percy Jackson and there are new characters too and you get to know about their personality and back story.
I liked how it didn't always go on the same characters, it got onto new characters and invented a whole new part of the Percy Jackson universe. I liked the way some books introduced new characters but they were connected to a different part of the universe. I would also recommend it if you like Greek or Roman living and mythology.
