With the upcoming Disney Plus show, I decided to do a reread of the Percy Jackson series. I first read the books back in 2010-2011, and I loved it. I liked the movies, but they were very different. So, I'm excited and hopeful that the TV show will be good. I was nervous to see if I would still like these books now that I'm older. I am pleased to say that, while yes these books are for a younger audience, I still had a lot of fun reading the first book. It feels great to get back into this world again. I'm looking forward to see if the second book will still be my favorite. I love the pacing of this book, it keeps moving along, no filler, and I love the character interactions.
Even though I do have physical copies of the books, I am doing this re-read with audiobooks, and the narrator does a decent job, but sounds very young. So, I'll be doing book reviews for all five books in the series. I'll do a ranking of the books when I'm done, just to compare to what my rankings were prior to this re-read. So, if you're a Percy Jackson fan stay tuned to the blog for reviews. I'll also be doing reviews on my YouTube channel and podcast channel. It will be called the Percy Jack:Son of Poseidon podcast.
