I recently re-read the Percy Jackson original five books. In doing so, I realized that I read the first four when they came out, but I must have missed the fifth book, so it was great to finish it. I absolutely love the Greek Gods and how they are portrayed in the modern world. Annabeth is definitely my favorite character. I liked her relationship with Percy, you know, if you ignore the whole they're related thing! She certainly had a great arc and I love how it was her (spoilers) words that got through to the bad guy in the end.
I do wonder about Percy though. He cannot turn a corner without something happening to him. All he does is exist and some monster will find him, or he'll stumble on something he shouldn't. I think that only works because it is for younger readers and they do say that demi-Gods attract trouble. But I did lose count of the number of times that he was looking for someone and they appeared two sentences later or was saved by a deus ex machina. Althought maybe that's the point. It's fate. It works out because it is supposed to. What do you guys think of the series?
