As you can tell from this week's poll, I scarfed down Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series. They're very good, one of the best remixes I've ever encountered, largely bc the author really knows his mythology. As an adult who knows her mythology, it was fun to guess which story the characters were revisiting or who the big bad would turn out to be. I bet they're filed under Young Adult in a bookstore, but I'd have no hesitation handing them to a young child, although I'd personally prefer they read the originals first. ( details )
Even though I read the first few chapters of Riordan's Egyptian mythology books, I couldn't get into them, possibly bc I know so little about Egypt in general. I have a 15hr book to address some of that, but yeah. I almost didn't start the sequel tetralogy to the Percy Jackson books, although there my concern was that I'd finish the one book that had been published so far and want more. I somehow enjoyed The Lost Hero less than the prior books: not sure if it's bc I burned out on heroic adventures (I read the first tetralogy in about a week) or bc I'm subconsciously protecting myself from a book addiction :)
