Relation Toward Books Percy Jackson and the Sword of Hades (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #4.5)
After I finished The Son of Neptune, my last obsession has been Percy Jackson. And I crave for more of him. So when I saw this one, I didn't waste time.The Sword of Hades was a short read, as it is intended to be a short story. It's not nearly as thrilling as the others in the first and second series. The writing seemed very basic and kind of rushed/not edited.
I still liked it, though. I love everything that's associated with Percy. In this novelette we were able to have a glimpse of our hero's life before the great war against the titans. That's what I look for. A bit of their normal life. When they're out of camp and not in major quests. How they try to blend in with the people.
In there we could see how they can be randomly summoned by the gods/goddesses to run some errands, or aid them in their own problems. And now I'm starting to hate the gods/goddesses. It seems like what all they do is sit around on their thrones, watch the demigods fix their personal troubles, see them die. That's very selfish of them.
Anyway, I give this 3 stars. It didn't impress me. But I wasn't disappointed either. Fair enough.

This book was published in Britain and is hard to find new in the U.S. I sent for a used copy from England before I had read the The Demigod Files which also contains the short story Percy Jackson and the Sword of Hades. This edition does contains a humorous report card from Chiron and Dionysus on Percy's summer camp activities that is not included in The Demigod Files, but the report card is one only page long. The second half of the book is called "Horrible Histories Groovy Greeks" and is aAnother wonderful edition to the Percy Jackson series, The Sword of Hades is a small story that occurs before the last book of the series. For a reader who doesn't know the world of Percy Jackson, this story might be confusing though the plot does not affect the overall series plot. Percy is pulled along with two other demi-gods to the other world to find the Sword of Hades for Persephone and the story is a quick and enjoyable read.A reader who is not terribly familiar with the tale of Hades and
Cause you can't get enough of Percy, right?And that's till I read the final book of the first series.
Review to come eventually once I finish a few of my reading challenges.
This was actually 2 books in one - the Percy Jackson book, and a book called the Groovy Greeks (which is not by Rick Riordan, but by the makers from the Horrible Histories books). The Groovy Greeks is a funny introduction to Greek history, with loads of random and funny trivia and many comics. It was quite funny and very.. groovy.The Percy Jackson book was a quick read, only 72 pages, but it had both Percy, Thalia and Nico (who are three of my favourite characters) and so I enjoyed this
I would trade any of my other books just to complete the Percy Jackson & the Olympians and The Heroes of Olympus series. That's how much I love this particular series by Rick Riordan. So when I saw this book, Percy Jackson and the Sword of Hades, I literally screamed and fangirled over it while I'm at a book store. Given that, it cost me only half of the original price and I didn't even know that Percy Jackson and the Olympians # 4.5 exists. I am not gonna spoil you everything because I
this story is in the demigod files
