Percy Jackson finds the Garden of the Hesperides in San Francisco.

He's not very bright, our Perce, is he?

PHOTO CONTAINS MINOR SPOILERS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If there were more stars in the regular system, I would've used them. This book ripped my heart out, stuffed it with emotions, and shoved it back in. I'm so sad to be leaving this series but so satisfied with the ending. I've developed such a strong attachment to these characters and this story, I know it will stay a favorite of mine for a long time.

4⭐️ Despite the rating I gave, I really struggled through the book; felt that some of the early chapters where too wordy and that she took too much time to describe things that didn‘t seem to really fit into the narrative. But once I got into the back half of the book, it really flew by. #2025 #bookreview #mythology #retellings #fiction #historicalfiction #bookreview

I don't know mythology very well and all I knew about Hippolyta and the Amazonians was from Wonder Woman. This novelization was good - lots of drama and action.

Onto the last in The Trials of Apollo! I have high hopes for this book, and I'm really excited to be wrapping this series up!

I adore Natalie Haynes‘ stand-up routines, which make Greek and Roman myths accessible and relevant to the modern world. I don‘t feel her style translate as well into book form, but this is still an interesting introduction to a selection of Greek goddesses, and her comparison of Artemis with Katniss from the Hunger Games has made me intrigued to read the latter.

So my Litsy friends. Which one should I start with, which should I skip?

staci.reads Circe is incredible if you're in the mood for a feminist myth retelling. House in the Cerulean Sea is so endearing and hits the heart if that's more your mood right now. Bith 5 star books for me but completely different experiences. 1w

First time annotating a book! This is my spare copy of The Sea of Monsters, and I really have no idea what I‘m doing. I‘m a wimp and won‘t take chances, so we‘ll see how this goes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book was PHENOMENAL! It was packed with backstory, lore, character development, comedy, and tragedy. I can‘t even say much more other than the fact that I LOVED IT. The definition of a 5-star book in my opinion. March was actually a huge reading slump for me, and I didn‘t even get through this book until today (apr 2). But this book would‘ve been my pick for #readingbracket2025 even if it wasn‘t the only book I read that month.
