Favorite Blast #2: Athena, Artemis and the Rest of Greek Mythology

Hey everybody...
So, here's my next Favorite Blast review: Athena, Artemis and the Rest of Greek Mythology. This review is on the...(drum-roll...) PERCY JACKSON series! This is one of my ultimate favorites, seriously. The series is by Rick Riordan, who's also written the Kane Chronicles series and the Heroes of Olympus series, which is also one of my favorites.
Percy Jackson lives in New York with his Mom, Sally Jackson. Everything's normal. Until one fateful day in which he visits the museum and his life is changed the moment he is handed a magic sword and he finds out that he's half-god, half-human! Percy is taken to a mysterious camp, Camp Half-Blood, where demigods, nature spirits, satyrs and centaurs all live in peace... Well, not quite.
Suddenly, Percy's thrown into a world (and heaven) of Greek gods, monsters, prophecies and heroes. Where lies can be truth, and good can be bad, who can be trusted? Percy soon learns that his greatest enemy is Kronos, the Titan of Time, who is bent on revenge and has sworn to rule the world again.
Faced with Titans, monsters, terrible prophecies and magical items, will Percy be able to defeat Kronos? Can anybody defeat Kronos? The worst part is what will Percy lose during this quest? His friends, his Mom, his life or even the world?
I love this series and it is amazing. I love the way the story is structured and the way the plot is unraveled. The language is easy to understand and there are situations we can all relate to. The story is so well narrated that you can actually feel as though you are actually in the book.
The books in this series are The Lightning Thief, The Sea of Monsters, The Titan's Curse, The Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian. The story is continued in a separate series The Heroes of Olympus.
I like this series and recommend it for ages 9 and above.
Well, this is the end of this post. Remember, watch out for the next Favorite Blast review, which will review the Heroes of Olympus!
