Percy Jackson is back! And this time, his quest isn't focused on the world ending: it's focused on getting him into college. Honestly, the fact that the stakes were pretty low in this one (not that there isn't any imminent danger, this is Percy we're talking about), made this such a fun read. Reading from Percy's perspective is alwasy fun because he has some of the best commentary, but just the overall tone of this one was less serious than some of the other series set in this world.
Riordan already announced another book after this one, and I'm betting is going to be a trilogy (3 quests to get into college and all). It's great seeing Percy, Annabeth, and Grover get back together for quests, and I'm sure we'll see more of that in the next books!
If you're just staring your Percy Jackson journey and wonder where this one fits in: it takes place after the Heroes of Olympus but before the Trials of Apollo. Once this trilogy is done, I think it will be a nice little bridge between the two series!
