2 hours 48 minutes - Definitely the best book in this series, never a dull moment, and the perfect conclusion to the series. It has a perfect blend of action and emotion, something not featured as much before in the series. I love the final scene in Olympus, that scene as always stuck with me from the first time I read this, and I love it just as much now.

“The world was collapsing, and the only thing that really mattered to me was that she was alive.”
This was SO good. Wow. Definitely my favorite book of the series. There was so much action and war, which I always find super interesting. I loved all of the flashbacks to help us understand Luke as a character. Rick Riordan does an amazing job of giving us hints and details through Percy’s dreams and it’s so cool to see characters interacting outside of him. I loved seeing all our characters come together to fight Kronos. I loved all the Nico content. Loved getting to see more of Grover and Tyson, and Thalia. Rick even managed to make me sad over small side character deaths like Charlie Beckendorf, Michael Yew. and Silena Beauregard. This book ended so perfectly. The way the prophecy came to fruition was so good. PERCABETH. Percy literally giving up immortality for her?? I knew it took the whole series but jeez, the last ten pages? It was definitely well worth the wait. The underwater air bubble kiss is so iconic. And to finish up this series Rick did a great job setting up the Heroes of Olympus series. Part way through the book, I remembered that Rachel became the next Oracle, but I forgot that she recites the next Great Prophecy at the end. SO COOL. Overall, this was a bundle of nostalgia that I’m so glad I revisited and I’m so excited to reread the Heroes of Olympus series.

This book is the perfect ending to the PJO series.
It's hard to review without spoiling, but I think I can manage.
The low moments are LOW, but the high moments are HIGH. The Percabeth is A+. All the friendships and relationships otherwise shown are perfectly portrayed. The ending is satisfying. The characters are true to themselves and manage to be funny (I say manage because I wouldn't be able to if I went through what they did).
What else can I say? It's a great book.

After rereading:
Damn you Rick! I cried so many times over this stupid book. Yeah sure it’s a perfect ending to the series and I love the Percabeth but oh my god(s). Rip my heart out why don’t you.
I hated Luke with my whole being for four whole books and then you gotta go and make him the hero and make me like him. I felt so bad for him. I was rooting for him to fight Kronos off and survive even though I knew he couldn't. I CRIED when he died, even though a few books earlier I was laughing when he got hurt!!!!
And all the others that died. I cried every single time. Even for frickin Ethan Nakamura. Jesus, especially Beckendorf and Silena!!!!! They deserved so much better! (When Silena died, I thought 'I can't wait for Luke to die' and then when he did I was a mess. What the heck, Rick.
Percy was so powerful and it was amazing. He didn't seem as innocent and stupid this time around. When he knocked down Hades, I was so pumped! And when he had his own hurricane, awesome! When he sat on Poseidon's throne, it was great.
Speaking of the gods, I think they're assholes as a general principle, but they were awesome. Poseidon was great especially, I loved him like I always do. He's one of the best parents of them all.

I REREAD AGAIN, I CRIED AGAIN, ALL I CAN SAY IS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
