Diary of Luke Castellan:
This one was really cool because it told you more of a backstory of what happened to Luke, Thalia and Annabeth before they got to Camp Half-Blood. Which is something I have been wondering since Annabeth mentioned it in the Percy Jackson series. Also, you got a backstory to how Thalia got Aegis and at what cost. Aegis was one of my favourite weapons in these series because it just struck me as the most practical weapon and one I wouldn't mind having. Percy has to uncap a pen, Jason has to flip a coin but Thalia just has to say the name of her shield and she has it ready in her hand.Lastly, you get to know why Luke hated the Gods so much. I really didn't like Luke's character because he was of course the bad guy that betrayed his friends for power. But in the short story you get to see the reasons why he hated the Gods and to be fair he had a point. I thought the shot stories were just going to be what happened after Percy Jackson and before Heroes of Olympus. I never thought they would tell you more things about the characters and why they became who they are.
This one is one the funnier stories with plenty of funny comments from Percy. I know I mention funny comments a lot but I love a book that can make me laugh. It's one of the things I always find in my favourite books. In this one you can really see the rivalry between Annabeth and Hermes. Which is not a thing I thought I was going to say considering it's a rivalry between a God and a demigod but it's true there is a rivalry there. Also, I love the characters George and Martha they make me laugh every time they appear in the books. Sadly, they don't appear very often as they are always with Hermes and I think they were only in the Percy Jackson books once. So it was nice to see them even though I probably won't see them any time soon.
Thanks for reading and I'll see you in the next post.
