What dangers do runaway demigods Luke and Thalia face on their way to Camp Half-Blood? Are Percy and Annabeth up to the task of rescuing stolen goods from a fire-breathing giant who doesn't take kindly to intruders? How exactly are Leo, Piper, and Jason supposed to find a runaway table, dodge a band of party-loving Maenads (who just might be a little psychotic), and stave

I'm not done yet but... Percy Jackson and The Staff of Hermes had So. Much. Percabeth. It hurt!

I got this for my birthday, which was awesome. I sat down on the couch and didn't talk to anybody for several hours.
It was great to see Luke and Thalia before they reached Camp Halfblood or any of the later craziness occured. I think I like Luke now more than I ever did.
The Percy & Annabeth Story: Oh, how I've missed them. Together. In the same book/shortstory/whatever. I like first person perspective better than third person in general, and I love Percy's narration. Plus George and Martha ...more

You know I love anything by Rick Riordan! :D
The Diary of Luke Castellan:
Thank you, Rick, for writing this story!! It was interesting to know about the dangers Luke and Thalia faced before The Lightning Thief and before Annabeth. And now I know how Aegis came to be and how exactly Annabeth got that dagger! :P
Percy Jackson and the Staff of Hermes:

Sadly, I can't say this was as good as the Files. Probably because there weren't as many interviews. Those were hilarious. The stories were good--Haley Riordan's was great.
The Demigod Diaries, like The Demigod Files, serves as an interlude between two of Rick Riordan's books in the main series. While all the stories in the Files all happen during the summer between The Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian, the four stories in this book all happen at different times, which I found helped me understand and become more involved in the Percy Jackson universe.
The Diary of Luke Castellan was a really interesting read for me. It's interesting to see Luke as the ...more

This was a fun addition to the Percy Jackson and Hero's of Olympus series. I enjoyed reading the diary entries of Luke, Percy and Leo. What I loved most was reading about how the Author began writing the Percy Jackson series - he was inspired by his son who was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia (as are the demigods) and that Percy Jackson sprang to life in bedtime stories he told his son. I also liked that his son also had a story at the end of the book. This is a good book to read for any fans

I need this like I need the air to breathe.
Una lettura davvero scorrevole e molto piacevole, la parte che ho preferito di più è stata quella con Percy ed Annabeth.
Really pleased with this companion book love the short stories<3. Laughed so much when Percy forgot about the one month anniversary with Annabeth... And Burford the table!?!?! Hahaha sooo randoms and amusing. I have no words to describe how much I love Rick Riordan's writings as they are just beyond my expectations:) And Haley, you are going to be just as successful as your father one day because that short story captivated me from start to end!!!

En esta recopilación de historias cortas vamos a acompañar a Luke y a Thalia en la aventura por la que conocieron a una peculiar niña llamada Annabeth. Siendo compañeros de viaje, y de lucha, ambos siguen pistas de los dioses para sobrevivir, hasta que se meten en una casa en la que no todo es lo que parece, ya que nuevos peligros acechan, donde tendrán que enfrentarse a una batalla de ingenio si quieren sobrevivir. Por su parte, Percy y Annabeth están disfrutando de un momento de relax ...more
I loved the stories The Diary of Luke Castellan and Son of Magic. I enjoyed reading about Thalia, Luke and Annabeth's wanderings. It made me a little sad, reading that diary, about a friendship that could have been, but never was.
And it was interesting to find out what happened to the demigods who fought in Kronos's army and why can monsters trace demigods so easily. Of course that Hera had her fingers in that, ironic. A family member everyone wants to have.

In questo libro segreto di Eroi dell'Olimpo sono contenute tre storie bonus che riguardano sia la Percy Jackson saga che appunto Eroi dell'Olimpo, più una quarta scritta dal figlio di Rick.
La prima "Il Diario di Luke Castellan" come già anticipa il titolo stesso parla del periodo in cui lui e Thalia facevano squadra per sopravvivere ai mostri che attentavano alla loro vita ed è anche quello in cui hanno incontrato Annabeth rendendola ufficialmente parte della loro piccola famiglia.

This was an excellent complement to both the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus series!
It was very interesting reading Luke's diary and it's so sad seeing how bitter and hurt he already felt at such a young age. On the bright sight, I loved how him and Thalia were able to get out of trouble, when they found little Annabeth and the story behind her dagger.

Loved it! I loved that we got to see Annabeth and Percy's romance before he disappears. I also loved that we got to see another side of the deceased Son of Hermes, Luke when he was younger and how he along with Thalia acted as surrogate parents to a then 7 year-old Annabeth.
Another great aspect of this book is the interview with George and Martha, the snakes that reside on Hermes' staff.

официално се разделих с поредицата...беше едно наистина добро приключение
This was a nice addition to the Heroes of Olympus series, though not a completely necessary one in Uncle Rick's case (I'll explain what I mean).
The book includes a few short stories centered around Luke, Percy and Leo. In Luke's story we take a peek in his life before he came to Camp Half-Blood and his relationship with Thalia and how they came to meet Annabeth. It was a nice addition in the sense that we get to see what Luke has been through and the fact that he didn't 'become a bad person' out ...more

All the stories in this book were really good, and hilarious of course! Plus we get some Percabeth!!! And I especially liked that we got a look into Luke's head. I think my favorite story would have to Haley Riordan's story, that story was terrific!!
=))) I get to meet the gang again so yay a bonus. This is better than 9 of the nine worlds (I don't even remember the title of that short story though). I guess it's because I like this series better than Magnus Chase or because my love for Rick's books is being worn off.
Obviously, only for hardcore fans of Riordan's Greek and Roman demigods. I liked it more than the similar The Demigod Files, though there's nothing here that made me quite as happy as Bob the Titan had. There are four stories here, each told from a different perspective. First, one of Luke and Thalia's adventures from their days on the run, before they met Annabeth. Luke's voice is distinct enough from Percy's, in no small part because of how bitter he already was. Next, Percy and Annabeth

Tykkään etenki siitä, että Rick Riordanin poika oli kirjoittanut vikan novellin. Yleisestikin tosi kiva kirja, ei niin hutaistu ja random kuin Demigod Files.
Brilliant. The stories are awesome, especially the one about Luke. Riordan never fails to deliver a masterpiece and that's why he is my favorite author.
More companion short stories in the Camp Half-Blood universe. Loved them!
If there was one short story I was looking forward to the most in this book, it was the last one called Son of Magic. But this story was actually written by Rick Riordan's son, Haley Riordan. And may I just say this right now:
HALEY DID EXCELLENT!

Brevi racconti con protagonisti Percy & Co. in puro stile accattivante e avventuroso come le serie.
L'ultima storia è stata scritta dal figlio di Rick e spero che spunti presto anche lui come scrittore perché merita, ha fantasia ed è più "oscuro" del padre (o almeno mi fa pensare a questo, visto che ha scelto Ecate come dea del suo racconto)

This book is basically divided into two parts: what Rick Riordan wrote and what his son Haley wrote.
Everything Rick wrote was, as usual, charming and funny and exciting and cute. He's one of my favorite writers because he knows how to balance the light and the dark, and it never gets too dark, even in life or death situations. His books are perfect "escape" books. They're fluffy, and I love that. I know I'm going to enjoy myself no matter which world or character he's writing.

Once again Rick Riordan failed to disappoint me with another one of his amazing books. My favorite part of this book is the Luke's diary because he explains his beginning and how he became the villain he was. I also liked that the book had a quiz to see if you could guess the god's roman form. I liked that because it actually made think about what you read about the gods. Unfortunately I didn't think this book was better than the demigod files because WHO NEEDS THE ROMANS?!(No offense to Jason

I loved it! Normally extensions like these feel like pandering or desperate attempts to mak money. Here though I felt like Riordan just had more stories to tell (he definetly wanted to make money too but thats not really important). Also Percabeth (need I say any more?)! And of course that full circle moment - the son who inspired the story continuing it (I love a good full circle moment).

These extra little books that Riordan puts out about his two mythology series are never terribly substantial, but they're not really meant to be. From what I remember of the others, this was most satisfying to me as an adult reader because it had 4 quite solid stories and less of the games, pictures, and extras that might appeal to juvenile readers, but probably aren't of much interest even to young adult readers, much less adults. It's hard to balance these things because the books are popular

I don’t leave her speechless very often. I have to enjoy those rare moments.

So this happened to be on my library shelf, and it's the sort of thing you could read in a few hours. Except that I can't just read short stories in a sitting, their changing storylines annoy me and make me put it down and the whole thing take longer. Anyway, that's a glitch with my system rather than the book. This is a lot of in between stories, where not a great deal happens but it's all light fluffy fun. Only without the sense of it all going anywhere.

Davvero molto carino, quattro racconti che approfondiscono il mondo di Percy.
Neanche a dirlo il mio preferito è Percy Jackson e lo scettro di Ermes (io adoro Testa d'Alghe!).
Simpatici i giochi tra un racconto e l'altro, purtroppo con il Kindle era difficile farli.
E che dire del figlio di Riordan?
Sedici anni in quel momento e scrive così? Complimenti!

Eroi dell'Olimpo racchiude quattro novelle, una su Luke e Talia, una su Percy e Annabeth, una su Leo con Piper e Jason e l'ultima, scritta dal figlio di Rick Riordan, "Il figlio della magia".
Partiamo dalle novelle scritte da Riordan senior; ovviamente lo stile rimane quello fantastico dell'autore, ironico e divertente, con battute argute e frasi che scatenano irrimediabilmente il riso per poi passare a pensieri più profondi e intimi.

Amazing!
I loved reading about Luke & Thalia!
I know it sounds bad, especially after all the bad things that Luke has done but I'm really liking his childhood self! I think Rick Riordan has really captured some great aspects of him.
I hope Rick Riordan writes more stories about Luke, Thalia & Annabeth when they were younger.

I had just finished the Percy Jackson series and my friend Maya really liked it. She told me about these short stories of Percy Jackson story books. I chose to read them because I really enjoyed the Percy Jackson books. Although I had a lot of options I chose the one I found first. It was Demigod Diaries.
The stories are all short and they take place during the timeline of before Percy Jackson series to the Heroes of Olympus series. There are also little games in the book. The first story of the ...more
