Percy Jackson and the Sword of Hades by Rick Riordan

alyshadeshae's review

3.0

I've read this before, so when I noticed it still on my to-read shelf I was a little confused. So, just to make sure it was read this year, I read through it again.

I giggled in all the right places, but noticed that on reread it doesn't hold up. :-( I like it better the first time.

It definitely took me a while to find these novellas but that mostly because I totally forgot about them. But when I signed up for like so many freaking reading challenges for this year I knew I had to find the novellas for the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.

I really enjoyed Percy Jackson and the Sword of Hades because I got more of Percy. I was sad to finish off this series and I haven't really wanted to finish the spin off series yet because that I would be even more sad. So yes, happiness for finding this book because I love the shit out of Percy and I also missed Thalia and Nico.

Plus, Hades and Persephone were cool and I wanted to know more about this missing sword. I loved the action and adventure that these three demi-gods when on. It was short lived though because novella's always leave me wanting more. I can't wait to read the next novella and see what else Percy has to do for these lazy gods.
