I love the cover of this book. It's a very elegant illustration for the series finale and I feel like it hints at hubris (maybe because the cover vaguely brings to mind the stories of Icarus and Phaeton, Apollo's son) which is one of the themes of the book - I think. I'm only about a quarter of the way through, so maybe not.
The Last Olympian is a reference to Hestia, the goddess of the Hearth, who appears to the characters in the form of an 8 year old girl, so that was kind of anti-climactic. However, the title may reference more than one person, so we'll see how it all shakes out. Or rather, I'll see, you won't unless you get your own copy.
