A friend of mine suggested I read this book since I already barreled through a lot of Rick Riordan’s books. But what’s different is that this is a “Rick Riordan Presents” book. Now, from my understand, this is a publishing company that Riordan is involved in with his editor Stephanie Lurie. Reading the description on … Continue reading Book Review: Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi

Book Review: Magnus Chase and The Gods of Asgard #3 – The Ship of the Dead
Truth be told, the main reason I read The Heroes of Olympus and The Trials of Apollo was so that I could finish The Magnus Chase series. I had read the 2nd book in The Magnus Chase series and it contained a slight spoiler for The Heroes of Olympus. I was a bit annoyed by … Continue reading Book Review: Magnus Chase and The Gods of Asgard #3 – The Ship of the Dead
Book Review: The Trials of Apollo #4 – The Tyrant’s Tomb by Rick Riordan
Continuing The Trials of Apollo series by Rick Riordan after a long break, I thought it would read very different or offer a new take on his work. But as I read The Tyrant’s Tomb, I couldn’t help but notice the feeling of familiarity to the previous book The Burning Maze. While the narrative structure … Continue reading Book Review: The Trials of Apollo #4 – The Tyrant’s Tomb by Rick Riordan
Book Review: Trials of Apollo #3: The Burning Maze by Rick Riordan
The Trials of Apollo: The Burning Maze by Rick Riordan feels more like what was to be expected from this series after The Heroes of Olympus series. The book takes a significantly darker tone and, in some cases, rather gruesome and unexpected. There were some genuinely surprising moments that, had it not been spoiled for … Continue reading Book Review: Trials of Apollo #3: The Burning Maze by Rick Riordan
Book Review: The Trials of Apollo #2 – The Dark Prophecy
Continuing The Trial of Apollo series, book 2 is not as intriguing as I would have expected after reading The Hidden Oracle. There’s a recurring trend that might be forming which is hard to really gauge how beneficial it is to the series as a whole. Time will tell, however The Dark Prophecy, while being … Continue reading Book Review: The Trials of Apollo #2 – The Dark Prophecy
Book Review: The Trials of Apollo #1 – The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan
I can’t lie, I’m on a bit of Rick Riordan binge with his books. A bit unsatisfied with the conclusion of The Heroes of Olympus, I thought to go on to The Trials of Apollo as there was a spoiler for it in The Magnus Chase series. I don’t want to risk being blindsided once … Continue reading Book Review: The Trials of Apollo #1 – The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan
Book Review: The Heroes of Olympus #5 – The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan
The final book in The Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan has a lot to live up to. Four books of anticipation and hype towards Gaia’s resurrection, the conflict of the Gods, and the Greek and Roman demigod war, The Blood of Olympus has a difficult task of living up to the expectations set … Continue reading Book Review: The Heroes of Olympus #5 – The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan
Book Review: The Heroes of Olympus #4 – The House of Hades by Rick Riordan
Its been a while since I’ve written a book review. Publishing my own book was a rather hectic couple of months. But I’m happy to have dived back in with The Heroes of Olympus – The House of Hades by Rick Riordan. It took a moment to adjust back into the groove of reading, thankfully … Continue reading Book Review: The Heroes of Olympus #4 – The House of Hades by Rick Riordan
Book Review: The Heroes of Olympus #2 – The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan
Continuing the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan, I expected more of the same as The Lost Hero. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Riordan broke away from his typical formula and created a trio that were all equally magnificent. Exploring more Roman archetypes and their pantheon, I was happy to see the … Continue reading Book Review: The Heroes of Olympus #2 – The Son of Neptune by Rick Riordan
Book Review: The Heroes of Olympus #1 – The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
It’s been a rough couple of months with very little reading so I thought I’d dive back into Rick Riordan’s world with The Heroes of Olympus – The Lost Hero. As expected, his work is wonderfully interwoven with mythology and makes for a fun and character focused adventure. But its hard to ignore certain imperfections … Continue reading Book Review: The Heroes of Olympus #1 – The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan
