My favourite part of the series so far. Things are starting to get dark and the action is more high stakes. Love love love!

Honestly, every time I've read The Titan's Curse, I've thought I was going to spend the whole thing missing Annabeth, and then I've been surprised by how much I grew to love the new characters.

Zoe Nightshade takes the prize for best character in this book (in my opinion). Spunky, bold, and strong. What more could you ask for? 

She's even confident enough to admit when she's wrong (although it may take a while). Personally, I don't think anyone other than Zoe and Thalia could have filled Annabeth's shoes for the duration of this book.

I love the Hunters of Artemis and am always excited to re-read this book and see their introduction into the world. I also love this book's focus on the balance of the relationship between Thalia and Percy as it shifts from dislike to friendship and back and forth throughout this book. I do always miss the Annabeth focus in this book in the series.

A reminder that despite the content warnings this is a middle grade book and does feel appropriate for that age group on the whole.
