Our view
Percy Jackson’s voice is the whole point of “Percy Jackson’s Greek Gods”: the myths of the Olympians retold with jokes and running commentary. Some readers find their attention drifting and feel the gods, as the myths have them, offer little to sympathise with. The humour works, and anyone who likes the way Percy narrates the main series gets that tone again here, in separate stories that are easy to read one at a time.
