#RiordanverseReadalong has finished the Heroes of Olympus series

Here is the book club's rating of all of the books. Do you agree? Disagree?

Son of Neptune was definitely my favourite

This entire series was boring. I don't think I was ever going to love it because I'm a Latinist. Riordan's interpretation of Rome and Roman religion annoyed me.

Even ignoring that element, there were too many characters and POVs. It really slowed the book down and I honestly didn't care about many of the characters.

Also, not sure if it's my ace showing but damn did I not care about the teen romances.

The second half of this was much better. There are just too many characters and too much going on and yet it's still so slow. I skim read.

I read the majority of this book in the bath with a Poseidon candle that smelt of sea, salt, and shipwrecks. It felt fitting.

This was a filler book. Not terrible, not great, moved the plot along and positioned the characters.

I did end up choosing The House of Hades for the Jan/Feb decision. It‘s just so good, I can‘t not choose it! #readingbracket2025

I've caught up! I'm about half way through this and enjoying it so far. I like some characters way more than others. Jason is still boring. Riordan is still weird about Aphrodite and femininity.

April we'll be reading The House of Hades. Hopefully more Nico 🤣

I enjoyed this a lot more than the first one. I found the trio much more compelling and the storyline interesting.

There are still some issues. It got repetitive, Riordan has some weird issues around femininity, and there were some racist and fatphobic comments.
