This book was literally life changing. When I read this book for the first time back in fifth grade, I had no idea what it would mean for me and my identity and I can't imagine my life without this book. This is the best book in the series undoubtedly and honestly I cry a little bit thinking about it. Perfection.

I learned last night on TikTok that this is one of the highest rated books on Goodreads, which is interesting to me! It does have a lot going for it; a lot of action, good character development, the inclusion of a lot of Greek and Roman mythology. Plus, Riordan just does a great job of infusing humor into his work. Which is definitely why a lot of middle grade readers are drawn to this series!

We get a cliffhanger in this one, but I don't think it's nearly as bad as Mark of Athena. We always knew the end was coming in the last book, so that's where we're left! Also this book makes me see why so many people love Nico, and I can't wait to read his standalone book that came out this year. Hopefully soon!
