1. Summary
Percy Jackson, a twelve-year-old who discovers he’s a demigod, is thrust into a world of Greek gods, monsters, and quests — all while trying to survive middle school. From monster attacks to epic prophecies, Percy navigates friendship, loyalty, and bravery, often with more sarcasm than sense.
Reading these books was like stepping into a whirlwind where childhood fun meets mythological chaos. Every reread uncovers jokes, clever twists, and emotional layers I totally missed the first time. These stories aren’t just adventures; they feel like comfort, like revisiting an old, mischievous friend who somehow always teaches you something new.
Charecters
Percy Jackson: Our sarcastic, trouble-magnet demigod. From literally fighting a Minotaur in his school to storming the Underworld, Percy’s bravery is only rivalled by his witty comebacks.
Annabeth Chase: The brains of the operation. Rolling her eyes at Percy’s antics or devising clever strategies, Annabeth is steady, smart, and endlessly loyal. Her Labyrinth navigation? Classic Annabeth genius.
Grover Underwood: Our lovable satyr sidekick. The comic relief, the moral compass, always reminds Percy to “think before leaping into certain doom.” Brave in all the ways that count.
Rachel Elizabeth Dare: The curly-haired painter and literal icon. Navigating prophecy and monsters with humour and honesty, Rachel’s “getting over Percy” moment is legendary. She’s the one I relate to most — all the artsy, sarcastic, slightly exasperated energy? That’s me.
3. Personal Thoughts + Plot (Spoilers)
⚠️ Spoilers ahead!
Percy’s journey is chaotic, hilarious, and heartbreaking all at once. From discovering he’s a demigod to battling monsters and navigating camp politics, each quest feels alive.
The Lightning Thief: Percy learns the unpredictable world of gods — and just how much he can survive with friends by his side.
The Sea of Monsters: Loyalty is tested in high-stakes situations.
The Titan’s Curse: Sacrifice, prophecy, and heart-wrenching decisions.
The Battle of the Labyrinth & The Last Olympian: Epic battles, clever strategies, and moments of self-doubt that make characters feel real.
Rereading these books reveals little gems I missed the first time — jokes, foreshadowing, emotional beats. Humor, adventure, and friendship combine into a cozy chaos you never want to leave. And Rachel’s subplot? Iconic.
5. Final Thoughts + Themes / Who Should Read It
Pure nostalgia. Percy's the dam Gen-Z Harry Potter energy, but with 4D characters, no forced backstories, and every side-character has personality and depth. You can feel that Riordan started this as bedtime stories for his son — and each chapter is a gift for all of us.
These books sneak wisdom, humour, and heart into every page. You can reread, discover new jokes, notice foreshadowing, or quietly cry at a quiet act of friendship. Once you start, it’s part of your reading DNA.
