1)i love jack,otis and sam
2)uncle rick did not disappoint with the chapter titles. humor is top-notch
3)the tragic backstory stuff is kinda overdone.
4)the i-hate-rich-people and the feel-bad-for-me is strong in this one."Doctor Who. (So I’m a nerd. Sue me.)" babe, thats one of the most popular and longest running shows."Yes, I like to read. I’m weird that way."it's giving y/n.
5)i love how it shades the mcu's potrayal of thor and then proceeds to turn the norse gods into a joke(but hey, at least disney is self aware)
6)there is no way that the amount of falafel this guy eats is even remotely healthy. how tf didn't he die from a heart attack already.

Spoiler

7)mc dies in page 40.
8)"instead of helping,one idiot held up his smartphone and tried to film the destruction." realism.

this originally put me in the slump to end all slumps. to the point where i had to reread it in its entirety to make myself give a shit again. but then i did and it wasn’t so bad. read the first half, the part i had read previously, in about two days. read the back half in one. wasn’t remarkable or world changing nor was it completely horrendous. mid. and kinda less fun than the rest of the percy jackson universe, for the most part.

Idk, I just really wasn’t getting into it. I’ll pick it up again maybe when I feel like there’s absolutely nothing to read, it also pretty much led to a reading slump which led to a book reading break of like a month. I stopped it a while ago but totally forgot to log it
