オリンポスの神々と7人の英雄〈3〉アテナの印 (パーシー・ジャクソンとオリンポスの神々シーズン2)

The story feels both exciting and funny at the right moments. I'm curious how the author approached blending these tones in a middle-grade setting.

The characters' personal journeys felt very real, even amid mythic battles. I wonder if Riordan drew from his own experiences or observations about growing up.

The mythological worldbuilding is rich and layered. I'm interested in whether the author planned all these connections from the start or let the mythology evolve naturally.
