Percy Jackson and the Olympians
A 50-word critique
A middle-grade series, highlighting children with disabilities as demigods. In this world, differences are not hindrances, but superpowers. Follow Percy and his friends as they come of age while saving the world from Kronos. These Greek mythological stories made me feel seen and made my childhood magical. Thank you, Rick.

The Colleen Hoover Effect
No, Mom. I will not write Colleen Hoover-esque books, no matter how much money they make. I don't think glorifying pseudo-incest and domestic violence is ever a good thing. There must be better books for people to read. Lily Bloom, the florist... Really?

I never got into this but this makes me wish I did!
I didn’t think the movie was all that great but you make the book sound inviting.
I've neither read the book or watched the films but I've heard a lot of good things about it! Awesome review!
What a great idea, flipping disabilities into superpowers. Great review!
Great critique! It seems like Rick Riordan inspired a lot of kids to have a love of Greek mythology. I also appreciate the effort he put into telling more diverse stories when it was not yet popular to do so in YA.
Great critique of a wonderful book series
I’ve only seen the first film and have not read the books. Glad it can make people feel seen!
I LOVE this series, especially the continuation with the Roman demigod kids. So compelling and I learned a ton about mythology. Great review!
