I loved this series as a kid and I'm finally rereading it as an adult for the first time. It's definitely got a couple things that haven't aged well (some fatphobia, some ableism), but all things considered it's not too bad. In my opinion this book holds up and I would still recommend it to anyone interested in the series, with the caveat that it's aimed at middle school kids. I'm really enjoying my rereads and getting familiar with these characters again, especially since I forgot so much of the plot specifics.

Reread 2022

It’s been a while since I read an MG title, so it felt like I had to make an effort to suspend my disbelief.

These books, while a tiny bit dated, are still just as entertaining. The characters are great and the mythology is on point.

Titan’s Curse is already on the TBR(eread)!
