A whole host of new heroes and adventures for Camp Half-Blood. While it took me a good 100 pages to accept Percy is not in this book and missing him terribly, I did come to love Jason, Piper, and Leo as characters. I was also surprised by how much more developed Riordan's writing feels in this book when compared to the entirety of the first series. I did find some of the monster fights a bit repetitive, but it was a fun read all-around and I'm excited to read the next installment!

I really love the concepts for this book series like the switch and the double sides and stuff. Getting everything situated, learning all these new characters and stuff, it just was so long lol. I think the Jason/piper romance is too quick, like make me care about them first before making me ship them, so that stuff is always weird but then again, it wasn’t made for adult queer women, it’s for 13 year olds. Overall very fun, I love these characters a lot which is nice because the PJO characters are some of my faves of all time. 

A nice egg for sure but tbh closer to the end of the egg, almost “party” but I’m gonna remember it better
