My favourite of the series so far. I think I just enjoy the smaller group storylines better than when the whole gang is together. I loved getting more Nico and thought Frank's trajectory throughout the book was well developed and paced. I also loved Leo's path and thought he added great relief from some of the more tense sections. Overall, my issue with Mark of Athena was that the friendships didn't feel believable but that wasn't the case here at all.

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.
