![]() ![]() ![]() 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. ![]()
