The Last Olympian revolves around the demigod Percy Jackson as he leads his friends in a last stand to protect Mount Olympus. Upon release, the book received highly positive reviews from various critics. It was also the #1 USA Today bestseller, the #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller, and #1 Los Angeles Times bestseller.
I don't know what all it is about these books, but I cannot get enough of them. In the last installment of Percy Jackson, the battle for the survival of Olympus has begun, and the Great Prophecy surrounding the son of Poseidon has started to come true. Great storytelling, and amazing (but clear-accessible for all ages to read and enjoy) writing.
Although not the best of the series, I was very satisfied with the ending of the story and the overall saga. Great read! This series has definitely sparked a renewed interest in Greek mythology. I guess I need to dust off my copy of The Iliad!
