This book was mostly filler to set up the rest of the series and since I forgot 95% of it since the last time I read it, I felt like I was reading it for the first time. A good read if you can ignore the stuff about Western civilisation and the Confederate soldiers.

Book 2 really hit the gas and never let up...and I wish it had. The pacing was so fast I felt like I couldn't breathe but I wanted to know just a little more, to sit in the moments of tension and sadness for just a little longer.

I did enjoy the scenes with Tyson, Annabeth was awesome as usual and the places they went were great.

I absolutely hated the way Circe was handled and felt Grover's parts were very redundant and I wished we got more with him before he was captured. I also though Clarissa had her moments but overall she didn't get much page time either. Again the pacing was too fast to allow any real development. I didn't enjoy Luke's scenes either, they just felt kind of bland and he wasn't nearly as intimidating as he was at the end of book 1.

Overall I am excited for the next book, but this one felt like a novella more than a full novel and it just didn't hit like I wanted it too.

"Brace Yourself."

I am surprised by how much of this book I forgot, and how much I actually enjoyed it! I still like the first book more, but this is pretty good as well!
