PRAISE FOR THE MARK OF ATHENA
"With a true storyteller's sense of pacing, Riordan creates another compelling adventure, right down to the cliff-hanger at the end. Stay tuned for volume four."—Booklist
PRAISE FOR THE SON OF NEPTUNE
"Should pacing and wit continue unabated into the third volume, whose foretold European setting promises further freshness, fans will eagerly await numbers four and five."—Kirkus

I bought this book set for my 8-year old (as a gift for his great progress report) and it was delivered on May 1, 2015. As of today, May 9th, he has finished the entire set. His DS and TV were relegated to secondary status. If that is not a testament to how good these books are, I do not know what is. He could not put it down. I thought he would get into the Harry Potter series and I was excited to have him read them along with Chronicles of Narnia, but the Greek and Roman mythology interwoven throughout the series and the adventures the characters go through in each book won this third grader over.
This particular book set only has the first three books (The Lost Hero, The Son of Neptune, and The Mark of Athena) of the five book series. House of Hades (4th book) and the Blood of Olympus (5th and final book) are not included. They are quite lengthy, average 400 pages each or so, and can make your child spend a significant amount of time reading (which may not be a bad thing). I love the story of how author Rick Riordan started this whole Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus series from storytime with his children. I still hope he will get into Harry Potter and Chronicles of Narnia (amongst other great children classic series) but I am glad that there are books like the Heroes of Olympus series that can fuel and sustain his love of reading.
My 9 year old son absolutely loves these books. He's quite a good reader for his age and it's difficult to find things that are both appropriate and interesting. The Difficulty is that he wants to read books that have inappropriate subject matter because books that are written for his age are too easy and can read them in a little over an hour. These books are great, as are the other series by this author. They are fun, they're interesting, they aren't scary and they are appropriate content for any child or adult who wants to read them. I say adult becuase they are a fun read for anyone! The author has just released two books for two new series and I'm so excited for these as well. Highly recommended
According to my 12 year old daughter these books are even more exciting than the first series "if that is even possible"! Bought the 4th book separately and then went online to order the 5th book from the UK since it is not available in the USA until Oct. 7th. (still waiting on the 5th since June 3rd but must admit the expected date listed was July 20th). She devoured each very large book within a day and has since been re-reading them while waiting for the 5th book! Not sure what I am going to do after she reads that one! Apparently these books are adictive :-)
The Heroes of Olympus is the continuation of the wonderful Percy Jackson series, a must-read for fantasy & mythology fans of all ages. In the Heroes of Olympus, we are reacquainted with many beloved characters from the Greek camp in the first series and also introduced to many exciting new characters from the Roman camp of demigods - a previously unknown camp that exists far away from the Greek camp we came to know and love in the first Percy Jackson books. According to the prophecy at the end of The Last Olympian, the Roman and the Greek camps must overcome an age-old, mysterious rivalry and work together alongside the Gods to defeat their greatest enemy ever - Gaea, mother earth herself.
These books provide countless hours of entertainment and adventure, battles between brave heroes and terrible villains, many plot twists, and a few very big surprises. If you loved the first series, I guarantee you and your family will love the Heroes of Olympus. This 3-book kindle collection is a very good value for the price. I bought this set, then bought the last two books separately because the price was better than buying the entire 5-book set at once. Highly recommend for all ages!
Was a gift for my nephew. He loved it, & enjoyed the presentation of this gift set of books. He wants to eventually collect all of the titles by this author, so I thought going with something that was visually appealing would make it look nice on the bookshelf. Glad I went with this boxed set for him! It was beautiful artwork in person on the cardboard housing.
