Good enough for someone who is not Percy nor Apollo. I did not enjoy it as much as I wanted to, good thing it was a short and fast read.

This was a really fun and quick read. I loved reading about some of the minor gods and goddesses that we didn't get a chance to hear about in the Percy Jackson series. Like I said in a previous status this book took me back to when I used to read choose your own adventure Goosebumps books as a kid. The actual story was really great too. It was something similar to what you would have read in the early Percy books. Zane and Sam's friendship was probably my favourite thing about this book. I wish there were more choices to who Zane's parent was, but I am just so in love and obsessed with Percy's world it didn't worry me too much. As long as Rick Riordan keeps writing books I'll definitely be reading them.

“Not important? How is my best friend turning into a livestock animal not important?”
Ok yeah this was fun. Nothing like a friendly pick-your-own-adventure as you’re running for your life from lion headed monsters to start off the week!
This would’ve slapped when I was younger (not to say it didn’t slap now). Filled with your classic Percy Jackson humor, but now *you’re* the main character… my high school self is rejoicing right now. I’ll gobble down all and any form of Rick Riordan content!

THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE EBOOK, WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER ZANE - NOT THE APP.
Demigod's of Olympus is whilst a short read and more of a filler for in between the rest of the series, was still rather fun and enjoyable. We meet & travel with Zane Carver and Sam Underwood, a demigod & a satyr who seem very similar to Percy & Grover in The Lightning Thief.
However, I did find the book never left a lasting impression on me, and the plot and character development seemed at most levels quite basic. It seemed to be a bit of a search for an identity type book and the end result - finding Zane's demigod parent, I felt like there wasn't too much of a build up and any god or goddess would have been placed there and I wouldn't have been very surprised. Both characters had very similar personalities to Percy & Grover, and apart from the pair never visiting Camp Half-Blood, the storyline seemed rather generic to a Camp Half-Blood chronicles book.
Also, the choices that you had to make, were rather basic and didn't have too much to do with the overall plot. And if the choice ended up being too out of line, Rick would have you turn around and choose again.
However, if you aren't planning on reading it critically, aren't particularly that fussed on the choose your own adventure part, and maybe want to feel a bit of nostalgia for the Lightning Thief days, I would recommend it to you.
