Its a good book. I like how the main character will give up what everybody else in the world wants just because she knows its not the position that she would love to be in. It sends a good message!

it was a good book, kind of cliche, though. Main character is personable, though.

Its a cool book. I felt like it takes a dark turn very quickly. Its a slightly creepy, but very adventurous book. I would recommend it to someone who likes action but fiction.

Decent book. The author was great but I felt like the overall subject was kind of sad - people killing eachother and not feeling any type of remorse, the really depressing part is that they are all kids!

Wow, that was really, really amazing. its so indescribable, its such an awesome book, you have to really read it through and through to understand it. I thought the other wildwood books were great, but this one was breath taking! waiting weeks and weeks for this book was totally worth it. At first it might be frustrating and stuff because you are introduced to a whole new set of characters. That's how I felt with all the books. But then after a few chapters with the characters, I felt so attached to them and never wanted their chapters to end! you will probably feel that way with these characters, but many of the old characters are still in it so all is good. please read it! but definitely read the rest of the series first, cause otherwise this book will make no sense at all.

Hi! I thought this book was really great. At first it was kind of slow and it sounded like it was fancy words and a nutty ( in a good way) story made without the authors heart really into it. Am I making sense? well anyways, it speeds up, and turns out pretty awesome! its a really great adventure that will make you feel like you are really there. I hope you enjoy it like I did. :)Hi!

I definitely love this book! it is one of my favorites from both Percy Jackson series. Sadly annabeth and Percy aren't really in this book, the main characters are Jason, Piper and Leo.
Its a great book filled with adventure, comedy, and more.

This book was really interesting. At first you may not even be sure it is fantasy, but a little later in reading, you'll be like "what?! how did I not notice this is fantasy!" there are dragons, magical horses, and so much more. I enjoyed this read, the character is really believable, she is not one of those perfect princesses, and she not one of those super brave adventurer princesses who wants to be a boy. I think she is perfectly right in the middle.

The Egypt game was a really interesting book to read. I liked it a lot, however it may be confusing for younger kids, because there really is no pattern of time, the author might focus on one day, and make it last chapters, or the author sometimes focuses on a few days on one page. It was an awesome book, the author made the characters so realistic and believable, that sometimes you actually forget that they are fictional! I definitely wouldn't mind reading more books by the same author.The Egypt game was a really interesting book to read.

I think it is a nice book and definitely inspirational, too. I liked the story line a lot.
August was definitely a really sweet boy, and it makes you wonder how many people in the world must be treated wrong because of the way they look.
I felt they were pretty young to be um dating, I guess, since they are 5th graders!

Hi, if you didn't read the blood of Olympus yet, I don't recommend reading this review, I didn't do any spoilers but still, I don't want to ruin it for you- well I warned you :)
I think that rick riordans was way too rushed. I had such high expectations for this book and was really looking forward to it. It disappointed me by a lot. First of all I was a little mad that there was no Percy and Annabeth commentary. I also felt like Rick made all the characters too much like Percy. They all had his sense of humor too. I felt like he left out a lot of important characters that the 7 demigods met on their journey to stop Gaea. In my opinion I think he was rushing to get to the next series because he was excited to make new characters and maybe was getting bored of all our favorite characters like Percy and Annabeth.
I really wish Rick Riordan was a little more descriptive about what was going on near the end there. It was so fast I could have skipped a page and missed the big moment! all of those books preparing and that's how he ends it.
just so rushed.
I really hope you enjoyed it though, because I wished I did! :)Hi, if you didn't read the blood of Olympus yet, I don't recommend reading this review, I didn't do any spoilers but still, I don't want to ruin it for you- well I warned you :)
