Significantly better then the first book, I feel like Apollo has his personality sorted out.
I enjoyed this, but I do still feel weird reading it, as the emotional whiplash isn't exactly to my taste.
The fip flop between comidic one liners and depressing situations was...ok

as an avid enjoyer of the percy jackson and the olympians series, i’ve found ToA to be very juvenile. i get its middle grade but so is olympians and it never felt so…cringe? there’s just some pretty stupid jokes in there that makes it hard to get through. i also think the names of their monsters tend to be much more complicated than the og series and it makes it hard to keep straight. i did find some of the backstories pretty interesting and there were definitely some charming moments in the book. overall, the book didn’t make a super large impression on me and i probably won’t be thinking about it in the future. i bought the whole series already though so i will be continuing :)

Leo… my actual beloved. I cannot tell if I wanna be Calypso or Leo more </3 I LOVE THEM BOTH. But much as I love them… this book made me drop the series, it feels nothing like the other books in the PJO universe and just made me strangely uncomfortable? I’ll read the tower of Nero though for sure!
