I love how deep this series is delving into mythology. Everyone knows about Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, etc... but what about Hecate? Hypnos? Boreas? Aeolus? All of these gods - and more - are introduced, and I love it!

This is the beginning of another great series from Mr. Riordan, with plenty of new characters, alsong with our old favorites. Bravo!

Re-read in 2018.
Original 2012 review: Excellent! It seems like Mr. Riordan did his research on the mythology (I loved all the little references to all sorts of Greek stories!). This was exciting, funny, and just a joy overall to read!
