I haven't completed a series in a really long time so I'm really happy to start off the year with the end of the Percy Jackson series.

The Last Olympian had callbacks to previous books, classic Percy Jackson humour, and a great message about a sense belonging.

I'm generally not the biggest fan of war-based books but I think The Last Olympian balanced out the war-plot with the character arcs really well.

My favourite scene from the book:
“I am the least of the gods. Why would you trust me with this?”
“You're the last Olympian,” I said.
“And the most important.”
“And why is that, Percy Jackson?”
“Because Hope survives best at the hearth,”

The series concluded well and the prophecy at the end of the book made me want to read the next series.
