This isn't just another 'Percy Jackson' clone. By making the protagonist a fallen god rather than a rising hero, Riordan finds a fresh way to talk about ego and empathy.
It’s funny, it’s fast-paced, and it doesn't talk down to kids. It manages to be inclusive and modern without feeling like it’s checking boxes. If your kid likes mythology or just enjoys watching a pompous person get humbled by a dumpster, this is a winner.
