Percy Jackson and the Bronze Dragon

Percy Jackson and the Stolen Chariot
I liked this. It was nice getting to see a couple of the more minor gods and it was really great having Clarisse around.

Percy Jackson and the Bronze Dragon
I like the idea behind this story, but not thrilled with the story itself. Part of that was the characters chosen (or, really, just Annabeth and focusing on her and Percy's relationship more than I like). Maybe also because I got interrupted and it took me a lot longer to read this short story than it should have.

After these two stories, you get interviews with the Stoll brothers , Clarisse, Annabeth, Grover and Percy.
They were all pretty entertaining, but forgettable.

Then there's a map of Camp Half-Blood - which I found pretty helpful. I had a fairly clear picture in my mind of the layout and I wasn't completely off base.

Next is a picture of Annabeth's Camp Trunk telling all the prospective camper's what they need to pack. (Not really sure why, but whatever.)

Then there's a whole series of character ‘portraits' that show an image as well as a few brief (very brief) stats on some of the major characters in the series. Which was neat but I would have liked more information on each of the characters and/or more characters.

Percy Jackson and the Sword of Hades
I liked this one quite a bit. Thalia and Nico are two of my favorites and I tend to love underworld stories.

Next we get a crossword puzzle - which is a good idea, but too much work for an ebook or any book you don't want to deface.

Ditto for the following world jumble. (Though I've never been a fan of word searches.)

Then there's a little quick sheet on the Olympians, which was kind of interesting as I don't know much about this pantheon. (Never studied it, just what I've learnt here and there.)

The rest of the book is comprised of, basically, ads. There's two book previews (first in the Kane Chronicles and the Heroes of Olympus) and a bunch of single page ads for other Riordan books.

Ultimately, I mostly enjoyed the three short stories (though the Bronze Dragon was my least favorite) and was at least curious about the deity information - but except for the couple of them that got special artwork, it was the kind of information you could find with a half decent Google search. I don't really see what the rest adds to the series, though.
