Praise
"The brilliant thing that Rick Riordan has done with these books is to make true what his story says: The Greek gods have moved to wherever their stories are told. Mount Olympus can as truly be at the top of the Empire State Building as it can be on a mountaintop in Greece. The important things to know are that the gods are not all-powerful, nor are they eternal, but that the stories of heroes are eternally told."

"The clash of modern and classical worlds is both exciting and entertaining....Like the stories in which they're rooted, Riordan's Percy Jackson novels speak to more than one audience, and in more than one key."

"Riordan masterfully orchestrates the huge cast of characters and manages a coherent, powerful tale at once exciting, philosophical and tear-jerking. The bestselling series's legions of fans will cheer their heroes on and rejoice in such a compelling conclusion to the saga."

"The hordes of young readers who have devoured Rick Riordan's four previous PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIAN books (boys over 10, mostly) will no doubt gulp down this concluding volume as greedily as they would a plateful of ambrosia, or maybe pizza."
