tbh I spend years doubting the worth of this series, bcs sadly, i watched the movie first (which is ass except for Logan Lerman my beloved), I found the Half-blood shirts ugly (i’m not sorry) and also bc I was a HP girly (and always will, im so cringe, i know) so it was like treason to my tumblr community.
But let me tell you, this was so much fun <3 Percy is an amazing mc, he’s funny and charming, and is easy to relate to, the fast pace made it enjoyable and you just need more and more. I also loved how the author adapted and incorporated the greek mythology into the story, i mean, details like the spiders and the zebra??? wow ahhshshsh

Character motivations are consistent. No major plot holes. Dialogue is a bit shallow, as characters are 12 years old. Good forshadowing, and good plot arc that's not entirely guessable.
Eager to see more of Percy and his powers in the next book.

This was a reread for me. My goodness. To think this book came out when I was actually 12 years old and now like almost 20 years later I'm reading it again. I actually came back to this because the Percy, Grover and Annabeth that were in the The Wrath of the Triple Goddess were similar but not this Percy, Grover and Annabeth. And honestly I liked this reiteration of them. Grover carried his own weight, contributed to the quest and wasn't just the comedic relief. Percy was smart in his own way, brave and compassionate to those around him. Annabeth was smart, wise, and likeable, but no way was she this perfect never making any mistakes teenager that every single person likes like in PJO #6 and #7. My opinion Rick Riordan cant get better then what he had with this original trilogy and should have to tried to add more books that essentially changed the characters for worse.
