October Wrap Up 2021 ~ A whole lot of thrillers and some more Rick Riordan

Hey gang!

I’m ba-ack!

How are you guys doing today? I hope you’re doing well!

Anyway, today I’m back with my wrap-up from this October. I actually had a really good reading month – it was almost all 4-5 star books for me!

So, without further ado, let’s get to discussing!

The Heroes of Olympus Series by Rick Riordan – The House of Hades and the Blood of Olympus

First things first – I finished my reread of the Heroes of Olympus series – Huzzah! I read the rest of them in September and had a really fun time rereading this series as it is truly one of my favourite series out there!

I really loved House of Hades and still think that it is one of the best in the series, and I really loved the Nico and Reyna POV chapters in Blood of Olympus. I’m going to do a full review with all of my thoughts soon, so stay tuned!

Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian is pretty iconic (Review) ~ Blogoween Day 28

Hey Demigods!

I’m back with the final review in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series; The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan.

I have also reviewed books one, two, three and four, which you can view by clicking on a respective number 🙂

So, without further ado, let’s get into the review!

Synopsis (From Goodreads)

MOST PEOPLE GET PRESENTS ON THEIR SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY. I GET A PROPHECY THAT COULD SAVE OR DESTROY THE WORLD. 

It happens when you’re the son of Poseidon, god of the sea. According to an ancient prophecy, I turn sixteen and the fate of the entire world is on me. But no pressure.

Now Kronos, Lord of the Titans, is beginning his attack on New York City. And the dreaded monster Typhon is also heading our way. So it’s me and forty of my demigod friends versus untold evil . . .

 

Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth is superior ~ Blogoween Day 19

Hey demigods!

I’m back with another Percy Jackson review today! Today it’s the Battle of the Labyrinth, the fourth book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

Synopsis (From Goodreads)

HONESTLY, BLOWING UP ANOTHER SCHOOL WAS THE LAST THING I WANTED TO DO.

As the son of a Greek god, I’ve had my share of near-death disaster – and now my arch enemy Luke wants to invade our camp via an ancient Labyrinth.

If he succeeds, thousands of bloodthirsty monsters will attack. So it’s goodbye sunshine, hello darkness as four of us descend into the terrifying underground and beyond… 

The Titan’s Curse is my least favourite PJO book (pls don’t hate me) – a review (Blogoween Day 18)

Hey demigods!

Today I’m back with another Percy Jackson book review – this one is about book three in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series; the Titans Curse. If you’re interested, you can find reviews for books one and two here and here.

Without further ado, let’s get to the review! (Hey – that rhymed!)

Synopsis (from Goodreads)

IT’S NOT EVERYDAY YOU FIND YOURSELF IN COMBAT WITH A HALF-LION, HALF-HUMAN.

But when you’re the son of a Greek god, it happens. And now my friend Annabeth is missing, a goddess is in chains and only five half-blood heroes can join the quest to defeat the doomsday monster.

Oh, and guess what? The Oracle has predicted that not all of us will survive…

Part One: What is it?

This book is a short story originally published as part of an anthology called Guys Read: For Other Worlds and was later published as its own original short story. It follows Percy and Grover, who initially get together to celebrate Grover’s birthday, but the god Apollo has other plans – one of his backup singers is missing somewhere in New York and likely causing havoc, and they have to get her back.
