The Last Olympian

Has the common trope of ending an epic fantasy/sci-fi series with a very long and epic battle. This probably started with Lord of The Rings, and has continued with Harry Potter, and dived into film, like Avengers: Endgame. This trope can get pretty stale. Endgame being an example of that. But this series, miraculously, could never get stale. This book really defines the word “epic” from the start. It never wastes time, but still manages to have time for some great character moments. I don't remember much at all about this book from reading it as a kid, and there were so many emotionally powerful moments. Like Percy turning down being a God, and the many moments with Hermes talking about Luke. Incredible stuff and not something you would expect to see for a book for kids. I thought the mythology would be less fun with the titans taking a front seat but it really wasn't. Prometheus was one of my favorite characters of the entire series. I am very ready to read the “Heroes of Olympus”.
