One of the things I noticed in the previous books was how there was often a push for one of the secondary characters to be more important to Percy's mission while the others would be off doing their own crazy side-quest. In the first book, we got to see a lot of Grover. The second book gave us a ton of Tyson. The third book was Nico. This fourth book did a great job of including everyone and making them all equally important and vital to the advancement of the story, which I loved!
I remember approaching the last quarter of this book and thinking that there was something that irked me about the formula of the story. Something that felt repetitive. For the life of me, one day after finishing, I can't recall what that was. Obviously, that means it wasn't as irritating as I thought it was because I've completely forgotten it. The ending of this book was really satisfying!
I'm still trying to wrap my mind around how everything is going to come together in book five, but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless. I really loved seeing Grover's growth and increase in maturity during his journey to find Pan. It was awesome watching Annabeth learn how to not just be a bossy know-it-all but actually a good friend. Tyson found out that he could be his own hero and even inspire those around him. There was such an interesting turn of events for Nico that I really enjoyed but won't talk about too much as it's a bit spoiler-y.
And of course, we can't forget Percy. During the first few books, he came across as the obnoxious chosen one who really let everyone else do the work for him. This book gave him a lot more depth and emotion. For a kid on the cusp of fifteen, he learned a lot!
I can't wait to dive into the final book soon!
