The Demigod Diaries Review: Fluff with a gem at the end. - Overall impression of this collection: The whole lot was fun. It was a quick and easy read, entertaining. I'll give a brief review of each short story. The Diary of Luke Castellan: This one was interesting, a glimpse back before the original Percy Jackson novels. It gives a certain intensity and makes the innate danger of being a half-blood much more real. Seeing these Luke and Thalia when they're literally living hand-to-mouth trying to survive monsters was a nice addition. Percy Jackson and the Staff of Hermes: Another fun aside. This one allows us to see a glimpse between the end of the last Percy Jackson book and the first Heroes of Olympus. It gives us a story where Percy and Annabeth are a couple. And they're fun, having to fix the problems of careless gods and still very much themselves. Leo Valdez and the Quest for Buford: This was my least favorite of the collection, although you get to see Piper, Leo and Jason (before he disappears). Another sort of zany adventure that demonstrates Riordan's creativity. The Maenads annoyed me and I'm not as fond of this trio as I am the original one. Still good. Son of Magic: This is the clincher. Actually written by his son, Haley, this is the only one that actually adds substance to the universe, rather than amusing interludes and it's the one that pushes this book to 5 stars. This story had me entranced. The characters were well-built, the detail wonderful and the insights into the world and how things work and some of the fall-out for the losing side of The Last Olympian were fantastic. If this kid can write like this at 16, I want to read more of his stuff when he gets older. The others were cute fluff, this one could be the base of a book. Heck, I want it to be the base of a book. I want more Alabaster. I want to know him and go on a journey with him. While the other shorts made me smile, this one made my fingers itch for the next book of the series. So, overall, mostly fluffy additions to the series with a true gem at the end. Review: Totally Met my Expectations - Confession: I was a bit irked when the description said there were stories with Luke Castellan's point of view, Percy and Annabeths date-turned-mission, and especially about the powers of a son of Hecate. But when I got the book, I was instantly hooked. "The Diary of Luke Castellan" was actually pretty amazing and sad at the same time. It showed us one of the dangers that Thalia and Luke encountered before meeting Annabeth (which Rick Riordan did add, at the end of the story). Nonetheless, I did start liking Luke more than I did in PJO (and now it makes me sad to think about how he died). Then came "Percy Jackson and the Staff of Hermes", where it starts out with Percy and Annabeth enjoying a picnic when Hermes crashes in and gives them a mission (to retrieve his lost caduceus, obviously). We get to meet a new enemy-giant (who's obsessed with stealing "worthy fakes") and read in Percy's ever-lasting humorous point of view. And the ending was really sweet. :) The third story by Rick Riordan was "Leo Valdez and the Quest for Buford". Mild spoiler: Leo has a runaway table called Buford who plays a key role in the story. And Leo finds himself surrounded by psychotic (but pretty) nymphs, who he finds a shame that he can't flirt with. And it was refreshing to know that Jason and Piper are OFFICIALLY a couple. Lastly, we get to read a story by Ricks son, Haley. It was a surprising feeling; I actually really enjoyed it! Told in third person, it tells of an arrogant mortal who came upon a monster-daughter and demigod-son of Hecate and how he ends up helping. I hope to see Haley Riordan as part of the New York Times #1 Best-Selling Authors list soon! In between the stories, we get a rather amusing interview with George and Martha (Hermes' snakes), the first-ever portrait of Thalia (and she looked just like what I imagined), and some pretty easy puzzles and quizzes and the official list of the seven demigods in the prophecy. The book was great and a satisfying "appetizer" until "The Mark of Athena". Definitely worth the money. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #27,002 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #24 in Children's Short Story Collections #30 in Children's Greek & Roman Tales & Myths #432 in Children's Action & Adventure Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (7,808) | | Dimensions | 5.38 x 0.9 x 7.25 inches | | Grade level | 5 - 9 | | ISBN-10 | 1423163001 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1423163008 | | Item Weight | 12.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | August 14, 2012 | | Publisher | Disney Hyperion | | Reading age | 9+ years, from customers | ## Images ![The Demigod Diaries - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-aDI9xKiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fluff with a gem at the end. *by K***E on October 12, 2012* Overall impression of this collection: The whole lot was fun.

But then you know how much I love Percy Jackson. Lol. One of the first things we see in this book is The Diary of Luke Castellan, and it honestly made me so sad. We actually get to see how he met Thalia and Annabeth, which I enjoyed. But more than that, we get a first-hand look into his internal thoughts, so you understand why he made the decisions he did in Percy Jackson and the Olympians. I'm not saying what he did was right, but I really felt for him because he had some really valid opinions when it came to the gods. Another story we get is actually about Luke's godly parent! In Percy Jackson and the Staff of Hermes, the god of thieves is stolen from... 🤭 This was SO fun! At the end, we got an interview with George and Martha, the snakes on Hermes's staff, and it was just delightful! I love them! Leo Valdez and the Quest for Buford is the origin story of how Leo came into possession of Buford the table... as the title suggests. Lol. Leo is one of my favorite characters, so I, of course, loved this story! It was so fun and Leo just cracks me up! The last story we got, Son of Magic, was actually written by Rick Riordan's son, who actually inspired the entire Percy Jackson story in the first place! This basically told the story of what happened to the demigods who sided and served Kronos. It was very interesting and it was actually really well written! Overall, I really enjoyed this! For the most part, this take place after the main Percy Jackson series, with the Leo story taking place just after The Lost Hero . But I liked all the short stories, plus it also had some maps and fun games sprinkled throughout the book. Definitely a must-read for anyone who loves this world as much as I do. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Demigod Diaries (The Heroes of Olympus) - The Demigod Files (A Percy Jackson and the Olympians Guide) - From the World of Percy Jackson Camp Half-Blood Confidential: Your Real Guide to the Demigod Training Camp --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1693726-the-demigod-diaries](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1693726-the-demigod-diaries) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
