First impression
I think I am reaching a plateau with Percy
here. The books are entertaining but not overwhelmingly so. I keep having a
good time with the mythology references. In this one we get to know Artemis and
her hunters, as well as some new enemies for the Olympians.
Final thoughts
As we advance in the series, it would seem
that Riordan is starting to give more and more mythology to the audience, which
is great if you are like me, but I haven't engaged fully yet. I think one of
the issues I have is that, since I have read my fair amount of mythology, when
he is giving clues I end up knowing what the surprise is going to be way
earlier than expected and so I get bored a bit. That said, I am not an expert
on the matter, so I am hoping that if I continue reading the series I will be
able to recognize less things and enjoy their introduction a bit more.
