Disappointing..... Pushing the LGBTQ Agenda
I am a big fan of Rick Riordan, or at least I'm a fan of his first books. However, this book pushes the LGBTQ agenda so much the child I purchased it for stopped reading it. She said it was making her uncomfortable that the author was focusing on sexuality so much in a children's book. She felt the storyline was "meh" compared to the Percy Jackson series and the Kane Chronicles and she said the gender issues were starting to be the focus of the book. It's very disappointing because she enjoys the mythological aspect of Riordan's previous books but unfortunately this one falls short. Hopefully Riordan goes back to focusing on the mythology and humor in his future work.
