The Last Olympian

The boy continues to love the series and is looking forward to the new book six we just acquired. I admit this book is fun to read aloud. 

There are aspects of the story that were surprise to me and others that resolved in a satisfying way for some who like a desired outcome. 

One may ask how the gods could truly be in mortal danger. Riordan takes an interesting approach using the belief from mortals and infighting to create their Achilles heel. Percy uses this reality as leverage to get what most of us want from our parents: recognition and acceptance. I hope I will never be a parent that the boy has to fight to get my attention.
