Book 539: The Crown of Ptolemy

The Crown of Ptolemy, by Rick Riordan, Disney-Hyperion, 2015.

This book came with another book.  I doubt if I would have bought this one for its own merit.

It is great to revisit the Percy Jackson character, but this isn't one of his stronger stories or adventures.  And, for a Rick Riordan book, it wrapped up in a surprisingly tidy little bow.

Book 538: The House of Hades

The House of Hades, by Rick Riordan, Disney-Hyperion, 2013

Sometimes I can't count on the library having a book that I really want to read, especially when a series is involved.  In those cases, I just have to buy the book.

This was a pretty exciting, pretty great read.  There was SO much going on -- so many characters, so many story lines, so many heartbreaks.  I was, however, vastly amused by the character and repeated mention of Hyperion.

I really hope that Bob can say hello to the stars in the next book.
