Percy Jackson and the Sword of Hades by Rick Riordan
3.0
The Sword of Hades.
I liked this little adventure Percy, Thalia and Nico go on in the Underworld. It was short and sweet and I enjoyed it a lot. Different Gods make an appearance in this short story and I liked that Hades has finally an official role because there was talking about him in the previous books, but he didn't really show up to say hi.
Also, the writing. I love how sarcastic and witty Percy's thoughts are and although he doesn't know every God and what their role is, he is smart and funny and he learns from every experience that he's had.
I liked that Thalia is in this short story as well; I really enjoyed her character in The Titan's Curse and I was sad that she'd (spoiler!) gone with Artemis to be one of her warriors.
Overall it was a nice and quick read and I am now fully prepared to finish this series!
4/5 stars.

This was an unexpected read. I thought that this short story would only contain Percy Jackson's adventure, but was interested when I found out that it was a flipcover.
It is kind of a history lesson with comic strips and written in a more casual and fun way. But I found myself not very interested in this story and mostly forced myself to read through it.
I wouldn't have picked it up if it hadn't been part of the Percy Jackson short story.
2/5 stars.
