Chaos, chaos, chaos, in a good way, mind you.

The prophecy of the seven from the end of the previous book comes into play, we get a flying ship (Festus) and 7 demigods both Roman and Greek, the giants are on the rise and they keep beating them eversince books 1 and 2 but they just don’t seem to end! And we see more of Annabeth which is always appreciated, we see a different side of the characters and the storyline speeds up from here

The Leo and hazel plot line was literally the best part. It made me cry!

This is my fav book in the series so far. I love the characters sm. Percabeth is awesome in this, especially with that ending. Every time nico is mentioned I feel like crying lol.
Some parts including Frank are a bit weird tho. They had to keep saying Chinese when mentioning Frank. (ik he’s Chinese but they don’t say “American” and “spanish” every time they talk about the other characters, do they?)
Be careful because there are lots of graphic descriptions (imo) in some parts tho. And be even more careful if you have a vivid imagination and have arachnophobia.
