5.0

That was a ride, and one I was more than happy to take. After the ending  of Mark Of Athena I was so anxious to pick up this book. It did not disappoint. It was thrilling to say the least, and it even had me looking up the Greek/Roman tales involved in the story. A great book from start to finish.

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!
