Heroes of Olympus Complete Collection (5 Book Slipcase) Paperback – 7 May 2015

I’m still only on the first book but it’s really good, I can’t wait to read every day. It’s definitely living up to Percy Jackson standards. It’s so interesting too I can’t wait to find out more. The first book takes place months after the last Olympian so I definitely recommend reading these. It ties in nicely.

I love this book so much read it if you’re unsure about it read it I am not kidding. It is one of the best books ever like I just can’t get over it. It’s awesome. Read it now. Just read it. OK

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.(age 7)

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.

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 more 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 more 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.

Basically my childhood

Swift delivery, as ordered. Cannot comment on contents from a literary viewpoint since this set is a Christmas gift for a young granddaughter. However she has read several of Rick Riordan's previous historical mysteries and loves them, so this set should go down well. Fort the benefit of other shoppers, my granddaughter is eight years old and a good reader. She "loses herself" in Rick Riordan's books as she does in the works of other well-regarded children's authors.
