However, I should know better now than to ever doubt Rick Riordan.
Jason, Piper, and Leo are the perfect little bundle of outcasts. Each of them had what they believed to be a huge flaw, but ends up being a huge skill.
As much as I loved the characters and the story, it did feel like this book was mostly just set up for the rest of the series. Understandable, as that's exactly what it is, but still a little slow to read at parts.
I can't wait to (re)read the rest of the series!

I always get a hoot out of Leo, he's probably one of my favorites of the new crew. However, I always love how Piper grows in learning to accept her godly parent and learning what she can actually do with the skills it provides.
Overall, a great continuation and expansion on the original series.

Keeping in mind that this book is completely age appropriate for middle grade audiences, regardless of the content warnings.claire_leibovitz's review against another edition
