The Ship of the Dead by Rick Riordan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Fantastic conclusion to the trilogy.

I love the way Magnus ultimately defeats Loki, and I think the part where Hearthstone finally faces his father is excellently done.

I also really like that Riordan had the courage to let Magnus be attracted to Alex (and even kiss Alex!) as a guy and not just when Alex is a girl.

The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is great. I loved seeing so many of the kids from Camp Half Blood again; Will and Nico are especially cute, and Percy is awesome.

Apollo's gradual transformation from self-centered douche to someone capable of thinking of others, feeling gratitude for what he's been given, and feeling shame for what he's done wrong is fantastic.

I loved Meg. She's such a fantastic character. Her betrayal is so heart-wrenching. I love that Apollo has grown so much that he can see Meg as the victim of abuse rather than an enemy.

There's a surprise appearance at the end of the book that made the whole book for me and made me eager to read the next one.
