This is my second-time read of this book and I loved it just as much. There’s a lot of foreshadowing I hadn’t picked up on before and I love the humor and the sass Percy has as a freaking 12 year old. In short, I loved it! I’d definitely recommend.

I can't believe I only just recently got into this series, this is 100x better than the movies. (Though I think the movies are good on their own, disconnected to PJO). I found myself more in love with these characters than most other books about a 12 year old boy who is "the chosen one", I'm sure you know who I'm talking about.

I can't wait to continue reading about this world and I'm very certain I'm not going to be able to put down the books until I'm completely caught up!
