Rereading Percy Jackson as an Adult

Hello Readers,
 
I loved the Percy Jackson series on Disney+ that much I had to reread the book series. I have not read The Chalice of the Gods yet as I am waiting for it to be released on paperback. I did reread the first book just before the series was released back in December, but I did end up reread the first book again for this week’s reviews. I am also resharing this line from my review of the tv series but another shout out for the episode titles being the chapter titles.
 

 
I originally reread this series back in 2013 and I still remember hunting down The Last Olympian in the yellow cover (Hades, I feel OLD) so it would match the rest of my book covers for my second set complete set. Yes, I am already side eyeing The Chalice of the Gods for not matching my collection.
 
I will say rereading these books as a 31-year-old is completely different experience also rereading these books after watching the series was completely new as seeing Walker Scobell as Percy reminded me that Percy is a lot younger than how I pictured him during my 2015 reread as I pictured Logan Lerman the whole time. I think it might be my age now but during this reread I think it really hit me that they are just kids.
 
I love how Rick has written the whole series as the books done in a way where you as the reader learn about Greek mythology without realising it right away. It wasn’t till this reread that I really appreciated the inside jokes for the people who are well-versed in Greek mythology that doesn’t mean the books aren’t funny and just all inside jokes the books are still hilarious at points.
 
I think this series is worth a reread or even a first as an adult the book are a good read, and they can act as a soft introduction to Greek mythology.
