I really enjoyed how we learned more about Percy and Annabeth, especially in the Sea of Monsters

3.0

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.
