This review will probably be brief as the story itself is not more than 16 pages, but that is not to say that I'm at all lacking in enthusiasm.

Destiny Entwined is the perfect bite-sized erotic romance. Every word has to count in a short story. Hell, every word has to count in any length of fiction, but especially so in shorter works. I loved how much lush description Nadia managed to pack in such limited space.

And, ok, so maybe I'm a tad biased, because again, tremendous geek who just happens to geek over Mythology. But you can't tell me no else wondered what happened after Theseus gives Ariadne the boot? No? Just me? Ok. But as someone who wishes she could find a lover as loyal as Guilt, I completely related to Nadia's portrayal of Ariadne.

Although, of course, I wish I could have spent more time in the story. And not just because of the fan-worthy scenes.

I must admit, when I first picked up the lightning theif in preperations for my vacation last summer, it was with a thought that I might be able to use it as a excuse to not have to take driving shifts as we drove steadily eastward to yellowstone. My family knows that if I am really in a book, nothing can pull me away from it.

And so, as I desperately waited for my classes to get out, having bought The Last Olympian early that moment the doors opened at a local borders. I couldnt wait to start reading, having finished rereading book four during my lunch hour.

And I was not disappointed. Riordan has a wonderful sense of humor with a snarky edge to it. Though I usually do not enjoy books written in first person, because most authors dont get just how dangerous writing first person can be, Rick has shown a nack for choosing his words carefully, showing up a world in vivid detail, and emotional clarity. The Last Olympian is a wonderful ending to a series that had much promise, and never broke it.

To those who might be afraid I will spoil anything, I wont. I will only say this; Many twists and turns await you. In the final book of the Percy Jackson series, Rick Riordan has woven a tale, pulling all the threads together into a tapestry, with everything he had done before coming together in a epic, emotional ending... a ending that stirred my emotions in a way only one other writer, and concluding book had done, and that was Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling.

While their story telling and writing styles are vastly different, what they share is a thirst for a good story, red herrings to throw you off, and a ending that you couldnt fully see coming, but cant help but be moved by in the end.

I am saddened that this story has drawn to a end, but all good stories must reach their conclusions, otherwise they stop being good.

But we can hope for Rick Riordan, for I have no doubt his gift from weaving a good story has not come to a close. I will continue to look forward to his future books.
