What a collection!

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This comment applies to audiobooks in general: I enjoy how both reading a book and hearing it narrated can result in getting two different stories from the same book. I'm not really talking about the "voices" that narrators use for each character. I'm talking about when a narrator puts emphasis on different words or uses different emotion for a line of dialogue than the way I imagined it when I read the book. I am especially intrigued when I understand a scene I read in a book in a certain way, and then I discover a completely different way to interpret the same scene when I hear to performed by a narrator.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Absolutely! I had expected to be just as entranced by these short stories as I was with the books, and I was not disappointed.

Any additional comments?

I usually only get one audible a month, but as soon as I finished The Lightening Thief, I started on Sea of Monsters. I spent just about every spare moment listening to the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series followed by the Heroes of Olympus series. Before I knew it, I had finished The House of Hades. My friends may be happy about it because my self-imposed isolation is now over (I was so engrossed in the stories that I basically cut myself off from the world for the span of the 9 books), but I still wanted something to tide me over until The Blood of Olympus is released.The Demigod Diaries is a wonderful addition to Riordan's world of demigods. These short stories have the same excitement and heart that made me fall in love with the books. The stories allow readers to better understand some characters, learn what happened to others, and give us a peak into a "normal day" in the life of a demigod.It's hard to imagine any fan of the series not loving this book and its additional glimpses into the world Rick Riordan has created.

The Son of Magic is AMAZING!

I've just finished this book and while they were all great stories, I just want to give special attention to Mr. Riordan's son for the Son of Magic story. I'm a huge Percy Jackson fan (as and ADHD kid and now adult myself, they make me feel seen in a way that other books just don't.) But... WOW! Alabaster's story is so well written and beautifully pulls the dark side of this world into focus. I would 100% read an entire series just about Alabaster and his companion. The magic is so cool, and the nuances are so beautifully described. I genuinely feel for both the main characters and the villain. You really see how both sides (titans and the gods) can be evil in their own way. Absolutely incredible. It may be my favorite story in the entire series. And that's saying something!

There like deleted scens!

There like deleted scens you wish hadnt been cut. Or like Short films before a movie. worth the read.

Great Read!

Great stories, especially the last one by Rick Riordan's son. Talented writer! Can't wait to read more.

Good collection.

This is a good collection of short stories in this universe, with a very good freshman offering from a new writer.

It was great

The books were both amazing, and I hope I see son of magic out soon.

great book

loved it it had good story and voice acting which helped the story flow better

The most amazing audiobook ever

The son of magic is the most amazing story I have ever herd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is the extension to the Percy Jackson universe that I always wanted and I now have

Good stories!! It fills in nicely in between.

This one is hard to know when to read/listen to. My guess is originally these were individual stories and not collective. So, I would look up to when to read/listen in order to understand who some characters are and when it fits in.

Overall, I love the mini stories. It is a nice way to fill in some gaps, that would not be necessary in the main series.

Please Note: The last story is unlike the rest. It is good and creative but it might be a little tough for younger ones to understand and might be a bit hard to understand. However, it is a good discussion to have with the kids, when they are ready.


As always amazing!!!

Fantastic

I really love it especially son of magic and the interview with George and Martha. Good job Rick and Hailly.
