Not worth it, except for the stories.
A companion book for the Percy Jackson series, containing several items like a map of Camp Half-Blood, interviews with several protagonists, three original short stories, and other assorted goodies like guides, pictures, letters, puzzles and games.
★★★☆☆ Percy Jackson and the Bronze Dragon. [3.5]
★★★☆☆ Percy Jackson and the Sword of Hades.
★★★☆☆ Percy Jackson and the Stolen Chariot. [2.5]
★★☆☆☆ Interviews with Percy / Clarisse / Annabeth / Stoll Brothers / Grover [1.5]
★★☆☆☆ Guide of Weapons / Gods / Monsters [1.5]
★★☆☆☆ Letters, Map, Pictures.[1.5]
★☆☆☆☆ Puzzle, Games, other stuff.
The only thing I hold dear from this book are the three short stories, which were fairly good, endearing and enjoyable. Everything else felt way too childish for my liking, even for Middle Grade. The content barely serious at all.

★★★★☆ 1. The Lightning Thief
★★★★☆ 2. The Sea of Monsters [4.5]
★★★★★ 3. The Titan's Curse
★★★★☆ 4. The Battle of the Labyrinth
★★★★☆ 5. The Last Olympian [4.5]
-----------------------------------------------
No lo vale, excepto por las historias.
Un libro compañero para la serie Percy Jackson, conteniendo varios items como un mapa del Campamento Mestizo, entrevistas con varios protagonistas, tres cuentos cortos originales, y otra variedad de cosillas como guías, dibujos, cartas, acertijos y juegos.
★★★☆☆ Percy Jackson y el Dragón de Bronce. [3.5]
★★★☆☆ Percy Jackson y la Espada de Hades.
★★★☆☆ Percy Jackson y el Carruaje Robado. [2.5]
★★☆☆☆ Entrevista con Percy / Clarisse / Annabeth / Hermanos Stoll / Grover [1.5]
★★☆☆☆ Guía de Armas / Dioses / Monstruos [1.5]
★★☆☆☆ Cartas, Mapa, Dibujos. [1.5]
★☆☆☆☆ Acertijos, Juegos, otras cosas.
Lo único que aprecio de este libro son los tres cuentos cortos, que fueron bastante buenos, entrañables y disfrutables. Todo lo demás se sintió demasiado infantil para mi gusto, incluso para Grado Medio. Un contenido que apenas raya lo serio.

"Pony on fire!"
Not a lot to tell about Demigod files. It's a very very short collection of quests and some interview type sections with some of the characters. This is not at all a must-read along with the main series as non of the books of main stories had any loose ends (which is a good thing). Quests are fun, but very short and not that adventurous. But the interviews were a nice touch.

Si por mí fuera, leería a cinco autores durante toda mi vida: Rick Riordan, J. K. Rowling, Laura Gallego, Patrick Rothfuss y Sarah J. Maas. LONG MAY THEY REIGN!
The Demigod Files es un libro compañero a la primera saga del Tío Rick: Percy Jackson and the Olympians y tiene tres historias cortas y unas cuantas entrevistas para partirse de la risa.
La primera historia, The Stolen Charriot nos cuenta cómo Clarisse debe recuperar el carruaje de su padre Ares para probar que es una digna hija de la guerra. El problema es que sus hermanastros, Fobos y Deimos, dioses del terror y el pánico, lo han robado para que ella fracase. Eventualmente, Clarisse se encontrará por casualidad con Percy y juntos intentarán derrotar a estos dioses menores.
¿Quién dijo que un hijo de Poseidón y una hija de Ares no podían trabajar juntos? ;)
En The Bronze Dragon todo empieza con un juego de Captura la Bandera en el que Percy y Annabeth están en bandos opuestos, lo que garantiza una competencia brutal. Cuando empieza el juego, Percy y Beckendorf, hijo de Hefesto, se internan en el bosque y se encuentran con unas hormigas gigantes, las myrmekes, que terminan arrastrando al hijo del dios herrero a su hormiguero. A partir de ahí, Percy tendrá media hora antes de que las hormigas devoren a Beckendorf para pedir ayuda a Annabeth y a Silena Beauregard, hija de Afrodita. Juntos, y con la ayuda de un dragón mítico de bronce que deberán ensamblar, estos semidioses trabajarán a contrarerloj para salvar la vida de su amigo.
Esta historia me recordó muchísimo a Festus, el dragón que Leo ensambla en la segunda saga y, además, morí de amor por la relación tontita entre Silena y Beckendorf. También me reí un montón viendo cómo Percy y Beckendorf hablaban sobre cómo invitar a las chicas a los fuegos artificiales del 4 de Julio <3.
La última historia, The Sword of Hades reúne a los hijos de los tres grandes: Percy Jackson, hijo de Poseidón; Thalia Grace, hija de Zeus; y Nico di Angelo, hijo de Hades. En esta historia, los semidioses son convocados al inframundo por Perséfone, la esposa de Hades, quien los embarca en una misión por todos los recovecos del infierno griego para que atrapen a quien a robado una nueva espada de acero estigio que estaba siendo forjada para el dios de los muertos.
De esta historia me gustó muchísimo el trabajo en equipo de Percy, Thalia y Nico y lo conscientes que son de que, muchas veces, no son más que peones de los dioses, peones que hacen el trabajo sucio para evitar grandes guerras entre ellos. Y de Nico, ay... pobrecillo mío. El pobre en esta historia aún está tratando de probar su valía ante su padre, porque si hay algo difícil en la vida es ser un hijo de Hades.

I enjoyed reading this so much, I loved the short stories. Gotta say that my favorite was the one with the dragon, just because it had both Percy and Annabeth in it.

I enjoyed two out of three of the novellas, and the interviews were cute and funny.

“In a way, it's nice to know that there are Greek gods out there, because you have somebody to blame when things go wrong. For instance, when you're walking away from a bus that's just been attacked by monster hags and blown up by lightning, and it's raining on top of everything else, most people might think that's just really bad luck; when you're a half-blood, you understand that some devine force is really trying to mess up your day.”
~ Rating- 3 stars ~
Content/ Trigger Warnings- Alcohol consumption mentioned, Immolation, Animal attack, Animal death
Note- I have tried to include all the content warnings that I noticed, but there is no guarantee that I haven’t missed something.
-No mention of these in the review-
The Demigod Flies is a novella in the Percy Jackson Series. There's nothing really to 'review' about this book. I really liked the stories and the fact that we get a bit more insider information on these characters. The banter between them was really sweet. Overall, it was a fun read.
“You stood up to the dragon so Beckendorf would have his chance to jump - now that was brave."
"Or pretty stupid."
"Percy, you're a brave guy," she said. "Just take the compliment. I swear, is it so hard?”
Review written on 1st May, 2022.
Sorry for the very short and vague review. I'm trying to clear up my 'to be reviewed', which currently has 140+ books, so I'll be writing short reviews like this for popular books/ books I gave 2-3 stars.
DISCLAIMER-All opinions on books I’ve read and reviewed are my own, and are with no intention to offend anyone. If you feel offended by my reviews, let me know how I can fix it.
How I Rate-
1 star- Hardly liked anything/ was disappointed
2 star- Had potential but did not deliver/ was disappointed
3 stars- Was ok but could have been better/ was average / Enjoyed a lot but something was missing
4 stars- Loved a lot but something was missing
5 stars- Loved it/ new favourite
.................
3 stars? Review to come.

The Stoll brothers are my heroes. Their interview with Rick Riordan... maybe Rick is my hero? I'm not really sure anymore, I'm just so thankful for him.
The interview with Annabeth! She's so special, so well spoken. I don't think she was ever less than 25 years old. When she said she'd want Percy to fight with her as long as she gets to tell him what to do. I love her.
I love how Percy tells everyone.. ever.. you do NOT want to be a demigod. Sir, I DO!
My favorite of the novellas in this series was definitely the bronze dragon. But then again, is that a surprise? Anything revolving around Percabeth is my favorite.

Let me preface this review by saying that I love the Percy Jackson and the Olympian Series. I recommend it to kids all the time, and have read the first four books. I did not like this little addition. I have to admit I was mightily turned off by the little Disney logo next to the Hyperion imprint. Intellectual snob? Little ole me?
Maybe the Disney thing wouldn't have left such an impression had the pictures included with the text not resembled so many a Disney character. Did Chiron have to look like Gaston from Beauty and the Beast? Annabeth looks ready for stores shelves as "Tomboy Skipper" (With New Adventures Included!).
The stories themselves seemed a bit forced to me. The only thing I really liked about the book was the last segment teasing the reader with a preview of the final book. Riordan's voice seemed more like his own to me there than in the other shorts. Those felt as though he was trying to cram as much action as possible with no storyline to back them up.
I had high hopes for this little ditty, but I was let down by what seemed like a gratuitous, money-making ploy.

This was so cute. It made me feel a bit nostalgic for the first Percy Jackson series. A very enjoyable companion, I wish I read this before I read the Heroes of Olympus series. But I am glad that I read it nonetheless. I think my favorite short story thing was how Bob the Titan came to be. Would recommend this for sure.

The Demigod Files is more of a companion novel to the series than actually part of the series itself...I think. The book contains various mini-bios on a few of the main characters and gods. As well as a map of the camp grounds and a few other features that are sure to please any fan of the series.
In my opinion, the biggest bonuses of the book are the three short stories that it contains. Now, I'm not sure if the stories are completely separate from the overall plot of the series and therefore have no bearing, or if they do play a role in the things to come. Given that the characters present are in line with the most current book out, I'm led to believe that the stories are somewhat a part of the series. In which case, if you are reading the series you should check this book out.
While not long at all, this book really wet my appetite until the final book comes out in May. Again, if you are a fan of Percy Jackson, then you have to take a look at this book. If you are new to the series, don't start with this one as it will give away many plot details. I'd start with The Lightning Thief

"Percy, you’re a brave guy," she said. "Just take the compliment. I swear, it is so hard?" We locked eyes. Our faces were, like, two inches apart. My chest felt a little funny, like my heart was trying to do jumping jacks. - The Demigod Files

Yes, I will continue reading and loving them until I am a withered old woman.

I enjoyed it. It wasn't that great but good. I am reading this after reading majority of HoO books, so the characters in here are of more significance to me. Out of the 3 stories, the sword of Hades has to be my favorite. It was the longest and was well rounded. Of course I am happy to have any extra Nico content. The interviews were a nice touch. I had forgotten how much I love Percy as a narrator. That was a plus here. But the illustrations though...hmm not a big fan. I have seen much better character fanarts and I would happily erase these from my memory. Overall a good addition to the camp half blood chronicles.
