The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities: New Stories about Mythic Heroes

The Cursed Carnival and Other Calamities: New Stories about Mythic Heroes by Rick Riordan

October 21, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Did Not Finish-10 percent Totally my fault on this one. I didn’t realize that most of these are stories about characters in prior books that have been published. I was totally lost in the first story and the fact that characters were going to different universes where they were stealing chickens. Yeah, that was something I read. I just decided to give it up because life is too short to be struggling with a book.

Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan

June 30, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 27/30 So I read another Rick Riordan book after I said I was going to stop, but I just get so curious! And this is the first Middle Grade book he’s written in FOREVER that isn’t about demigods, and it’s a play on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which I used to love when I was a kid. And it was good! I didn’t love it, because it’s not for me, but I did like it, and […]

Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan

February 3, 2022 by Amalthea 2 Comments

This is my first review and I am excited that it is for a Rick Riordan book (because it’s the book I happened to be reading this week). I first read a Percy Jackson book because my 9-year-old son wanted me to read it, so we could talk about it together. After reading the first chapter, I found myself compelled to read the next and the next, needing to know what happens to Percy. And then I read through the rest of the series, then […]

Will I quit you, Riordan? I still don’t know. This review is barely about the book, which was good!

The Tower of Nero (The Trials of Apollo, #5) by Rick Riordan

February 22, 2021 by narfna Leave a Comment

I did end up liking this series ender. As up and down as I’ve been with this series, it could have gone either way for me. This book definitely got the closest to my preferred version of the series, which had Apollo actually realizing the consequences of his actions and not just joking his way through some pretty serious stuff. Although, it still never gelled for me that Apollo the God and Lester the Teenager were the same character. There was some moves towards that […]

Dude, where is my lightning bolt?

Percy Jackson and the Olympians the Lightning Thief: The Graphic Novel by Robert Venditti

February 16, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The graphic novel adaptations of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians the Lightning Thief: The Graphic Novel seems to rely on you having read the full novels. In fact, most of the graphic novel adaptations feel this way. However, you can still follow the action, but sometimes things fell assumed or feel missing. They are good books, but not great in my opinion. I will still read him, as I like the comfort of the reading level and the story itself, but I will […]

Lester Papadopoulos closes it out

The Trials of Apollo : The Tower of Nero by Rick Riordan

January 12, 2021 by Manimama Leave a Comment

We’re big fans of Rick Riordan in my house- my son has been re-reading various of his book series for the last four years pretty much non-stop. His latest book, The Tower of Nero, completes the five-book Trials of Apollo series and wraps up the Greek and Roman mythologies he began in Percy Jackson and the Olympians. In this series, the god Apollo is punished by Zeus by being cast down to Earth in the form of a pimply, flabby teenager named Lester Papadopoulos. Apollo has lost his powers […]
