![]() ![]() But now, years later, Riordan’s characters have grown. No one was permanently psychologically damaged. The stakes were high, but nothing was too scary or scarring. When we first met Percy Jackson, he was a sassy middle schooler while his adventures are still incredibly readable and enjoyable for older readers, they were perfect for kids Percy’s age. I mean that Riordan has done a great job of allowing his characters to age, and the stories have developed with them. I don’t mean that they’re better now or that they were amateur then. Rick Riordan’s books have really matured since The Lightning Thief. ![]() Is it good that I invested the time for that reread? Yes. Am I too late to post a review that anyone is going to care about? Probably. I was well caught up when I finally got to read the newest book. Remember that major death in The Burning Maze? I didn’t. Often in situations like this, I’ll jump right into the new book because I’m too excited to wait, but this time I actually did the smart thing and reread the books that came before (well, The Trials of Apollo I didn’t go all the way back to HoO or PJO), which was definitely a good thing because I let some truly massive plot developments slip my mind. Rick Riordan is one of my favorite authors, but I was still taken off-guard when The Tyrant’s Tomb came out a few months ago because I hadn’t known he was due for one. ![]()
