Knowing this book was aimed at a younger audience, I still felt so many emotions while reading rhis. I didn’t read the series when it initially came out, but I’m glad I gave it a chance.

Percy and his friends take us on a wild journey, experiencing hardship and severe loss along the way.  You start to form a connection to these characters and feel the pain they are going through.  Then you remember that they’re just kids and the pain hits a lot harder.

Riordan’s writing style is captivating and draws you directly into the world.  I can’t wait to continue this journey with these amazing characters.  I know we will suffer a lot more along the way, but I’m looking forward to a proper ending.

This is definitely the most intense entry of the series so far. There's been fighting in the other two books, of course, but no permanent casualties. It did surprise me that two of the main characters were killed off - though I did sort of guess it would happen, since they were also introduced in this book. I barely knew Bianca or Zoe, but their deaths definitely got to me; Zoe's a bit more than Bianca's. But Nico's reaction to finding out was just heartbreaking. At this point, I feel like I'm definitely getting into the meat of the story, which is exciting. More major characters are being introduced, and everything feels so much more high-stakes now. As far as minor things go, I like the incorporation of "fatal flaws" into the concept, since they were always a huge player in classic mythology (plus Percy finding out what his is). It's a neat detail. Great series so far!

The Percy Jackson books are extremely formulaic bit putting that predictability aside this was a good listen. It was not as interesting or exciting as some of the others and I do feel both Zoey Nightshade and Thalia were throw-away characters (unpopular opinion?) but altogether I enjoyed it.

There’s something about a good hook and likeable characters that gets cozy. Percy Jackson does that well.
