Oh. My. Gods.

I finally read it! The finale of all grand finales! Percy Jackson Book 5: The Last Olympian!
Oh my gods it was so good. The plot's too complicated to even start on a summary for this post... Especially since there were tons of loose ends being tied up. I mean, Annabeth finally resolves everything with Luke, Luke makes the choice that saved the world, Percy finds out the truth about the Great Prophecy, Grover helps the Wild to the best of his ability, and it was just SO GOOD. I literally could not stop reading. Sure, there were some boring battle scenes, but in books about Greek gods, sometimes you gotta throw in one or two of those. Overall, it was just the best series clincher ever. Besides Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, of course, and maybe Breaking Dawn... but that's beside the point. This book was amazing! And thank gods Percy didn't die like everyone thought he was supposed to. Otherwise he wouldn't have been able to have that great scene with Annabeth at the end of the book...
Of course, we have to honor all those who fell. The first two were Charlie and Silena, a match made in heaven... or Olympus. They end up together again in the end though.
One thing I have realized while reading these: Percy Jackson's series is a lot like the Harry Potter series. You have a teenage boy who finds out he has great powers, goes away to an enchanted place to develop them, and discovers he is the one destined to fulfill The Great Prophecy... and also end up falling in love with one of his best friends. And Kronos is SO like Lord Voldemort! Both are insanely evil, supposedly immortal, greedy, arrogant, etc.
Wow, what am I going to read now that I'm done with this book? What can live up to that?
