I loved this book. It was amazing. The plot kept me engaged and enthralled, and on the edge of my seat a lot of the time. The characters were amazing and their relationships were strong.

Safe to say that Rick Riordan is one of the best authors to ever exist and every book I read of him makes me want to read more. It’s so wonderful how he’s able to creature characters with their own unique and deep personalities and make them work together and towards a shared goal. It’s simply amazing.

This was a re-read, but my first time listening to the audiobook. This book is where things start getting really interesting, everyone starts coming into their own. I appreciate the whole Nico arc and getting to see him come into his own and step up for the team regardless of what that reveals about him. It is also one of the darkest books. Percy and Annabeth really have to lean on each other and grow in their trust as they traverse through the underworld. While one of the most tense books, it is also one of the most rewarding in the series.

Still absolutely appropriate for a YA reading level, but on the darker side compared to the prior books in the series.
