Couldn't just put the book down without finishing it. Now that I have finished reading it, I realized I have to wait till the next book "The House of Hades" is released (October 2013).

Great but an one part I got attached to my phone and started to become slower in reading.
adventurous funny slow-paced

This was my least favourite Percy related thing I've read, mainly because I'm reading these as an adult, but also partially because this book has a few actual flaws that made it a bit of a slog to get through. Too many characters and not enough interesting plot to go around, the formula gets old pretty quick. I'm still looking forward to what happens next though! Next book better all be Grover pov.

Waiting to read this was unbearable! When I finally got my hands on it, I finished it in way too quickly!
This book was so incredible!
[Spoiler Alert]
The way Percy and Annabeth were finally reunited only to be wrenched apart again, and the way Percy refused to let her go at the end! Beautiful! I loved the Percy vs Jason elements (but I appreciated the tasteful way in which Riordan incorporated it - the whole story wasn't centered around it but it was still brought up - as I believe a little completion was necessary for realistic character development. I think I speak for everyone when I say TEAM PERCY ALL THE WAY :P) and the whole Leo-Hazel-Frank weirdness (though I kind of figured Leo was related to Sammy). Oh, and the way Percy almost drowned? Nice touch.
Like most people who aren't made of stone, I cried when Percy and Annabeth fell into Tartarus. So great! I just hope they don't come back completely shell-shocked like Nico! :/
All in all, a SUPER AWESOME BOOK!!!
But I wouldn't expect less from Rick Riordan.
Now the only problem is that we have to wait for the House of Hades D:

So happy to see all 7 demigods meeting and working together! 🤩 Such interesting dynamics. My only complain is the book felt a little too long, maybe it had 1 too many side quests but still enjoyed it overall.🥹

That ending stressed me out though, sad because
the group is gonna be separated next book
🥲 but overall liked it and can't wait to continue this series 🙂‍↕️🔱

Percy and Annabeth supremacy!

This was a wild ride. I loved the Greek and Romans coming together. It was really cool to see how the blending of the personas played a role in everything. All the perspectives were interesting too. It both made me feel like I was missing things and got a lot of information. The ending was so good and left me needing to know what happens next immediately. I just love anything Rick Riordan writes.
