The Modern Story about gods and Their Half-blood Kids

"...the modernized gods are hilarious."

I think that it is exactly what makes the book special.

Riordan is faithful to the original Greek myths. He used the exact name of the gods who share the same history and ability. At the same time, he brought forth new ideas to them.
Hephaestus, the god who is a black-smith but not very good-looking, once made a trap intending to catch his wife (goddess of love) and Ares(god of War). Annabeth carelessly told Percy that it was a three-thousand-year-old gossip.
However, terrible characters in myths have common troubles like normal person.
Charon, the ferryman who brought the dead across the rivers to Hades, is quite dissatisfied with the pay from Hades and the boring, bothering job. Also, Hades dislikes the war for the reason that he has to open extra subdivisions which makes his kingdom swollen. Hades was driven insane by the traffic problems caused by it, too.

If you want to survive in the quest, you'd better get some knowledge of Greek mythology. It will help you recognize the monsters quickly.

Besides remember your aim. Once they happened to get in the Lotus Casino. There are hundreds of video games you can name it, waitress and snack bars all around, serving every kind of food you can imagine. Above all, things are all free! What a wonderful place! That's why people would easily addicted to the video games and even forget the time in the real world. But the buddys made a difficult choice to get out of there and into the real world. They don't forget their quest.

It's clear rhe story isn't over. There is one prophecy remained to come true. And it sounds quite unfortunate.

Percy was told that a hero would always end with a tragedy at first. But he know, he should face it. The bravery makes me respect him so much.

I am looking forward to the next series!
