Goddamn the perfect first book in a series. Leaves me constantly enthralled by the mythology and action, and just ready for more. Everything about this book is perfection, the humor, the characters, the mystery, and the hints at even more shenanigans and adventure to come. A gift to humanity.

It took me a while to finish this book but it certainly was worth it :)

This book was quite long compared to the previous Percy Jackson books but this book is also multi perspective and follows all three main characters throughout the book. 

I really love all these new characters introduced in this book and loved reading their different perspectives and their struggles. 

I loved the Greek and Roman aspects of the book too, and I can't wait to see what is going to happen when the both sides will meet.
