DID NOT FINISH: 4%

I couldn’t get into the dialogue feeling like it was written for a young tween - teenager 
adventurous challenging slow-paced

Probably my least favorite from my recollection as the pace was off. Still good. Will 100% have to revisit it though 

Rereading whole series for funz
It’s so nostalgic and easy on the brain. It’s a nice break from classics lol

Excellent storytelling! The usual whirlwind of events, with some very foreseeable revelations (let's not forget, these stories are written for teenagers), but gripping from the very first words to the last, soothing, after-the-climax chapters. I can't wait to proceed to the next one, but I'll have to, as I don't have the free time to read this much right now (but if I started, I wouldn't be able to put it down).

This has been the most exquisite distraction, however, now I have to head off to fight my own demons.

If you're a big fan of Percy, this book is really irritating! (Because he's not in it, but is constantly mentioned). But it's really good! It was much better the second time through for me, since I wasn't as impatient to get to Percy this time around, and I was able to enjoy these characters more fully.

But Rick is a monster who toys with your emotions. That is all.

love love love love love love leo
