This isn't just 'extra credit' reading for fans of the series; it’s a solid, funny, and genuinely smart expansion of the world.
Riordan has this uncanny ability to make ancient myths feel like they’re happening in a Brooklyn subway station. It’s safe, it’s inclusive without being preachy, and it’s one of those rare books that might actually make a kid laugh out loud while they're reading in their room.
If they’ve already finished the main trilogy, this is a no-brainer. If they haven't, start with 'The Sword of Summer' first.
