Rick Riordan's The Blood Of Olympus

The Blood of Olympus
I like the way the author, Rick Riordan, made mythology come to life in “The Blood of Olympus”. The book brings an interesting spin on Greek and Roman mythology. Besides the mythology, I really like the character Percy, who used to be the main character in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. I also personally enjoyed how well written the book was. Altogether, I liked the mythology, Percy, and the well written story that the author Rick has created.
Firstly, I love the way this book brings an interesting spin on Greek and Roman mythology. Ever since I was in elementary school, I have always had an interest in the stories of great heroes fighting evil monsters. Riordan managed to pull in my interest by including the very monsters that were in those stories. One such monster, the giant Orion, was accidently killed by Artemis in Greek mythology, but is now a character in the story. Monsters like giants and gods are a common thing and most definitely make the book more interesting.

Secondly, I like the character Percy Jackson because I think he is one of the coolest characters in the book.

For starters, Percy is the son of Poseidon, which I think is pretty awesome. Being the son of Poseidon also means that he can practically breath underwater without requiring those nasty gills people see on fish. Besides being able to breath underwater, Percy is also pretty great at being the comical relief in those tense monster fighting situations. Also, since Percy used to be the only main character in Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, I’m already used to the way he acts and talks to other characters. In all I love that Rick brought my favorite character Percy back into the

story.
Lastly, I like this writing because it’s actually able to make me feel different emotions even though it’s just a book. When a book causes you to feel like laughing and makes you smile, that usually means the author did a great job writing it. Also it lets you know that the author put his feelings into it as well because if he hadn’t thought that it was funny himself then it wouldn’t have been funny for us readers. Being able to share your feelings through literature just shows how skillful Riordan was when writing “The Blood of Olympus”. Riordans skillful writing even made me feel like I was actually inside the book. Altogether, I believe that Riordan did an excellent job writing “The Blood of Olympus”.
I was surprised how great the mythology, Percy, and the writing was in this book. I believe that compared to the other books in the series, “The Blood of Olympus” managed to top all of them. I also think that the more books Rick Riordan writes, the better books he will write in the future. I believe that Rick’s books will be well liked by anyone that reads them, well if they like reading an average of five hundred pages in each book he writes. I would also recommend this book and all the other books Riordan writes to people who have an interest in mythology and great characters.
