Amazing as always (I think this is my 3rd or 4th reread)

It is interesting for me to read it as an adult for the first time and to notice things I didn't as a kid

I saw a tik tok that was like "I'm pretty sure the only reason I hated on Rachel Elizabeth Dare as a child was because I related so strongly to Annabeth as a character that I sometimes project myself onto her and was jealous of Rachel and Percy's relationship because I wanted Percy and Annabeth together so badly" and honestly I have never felt so attacked-
anyways I was lowkey kind of annoyed that Annabeth and Percy couldn't just talk about their feelings and figure it out, but I actually love Rachel as a character and of course this book was adventure filled and action packed so we love that.
Also Rachel was literally such a badass and so brave, like Percy asked her to go on a crazy mission with him to save Camp Half Blood during which she could potentially be killed and she was just like "y'know what? I don't have anything better to do" and even when she was scared or in danger, she still like kept her cool and kept going.
Basically what I'm saying is stan Rachel Elizabeth Dare for clear skin

This one was wayyy better than the third, mostly because there were less side characters. Excited to see how the series ends, but if anything happens to my baby Tyson I will RAGE.

this took me a little longer than i would've liked to finish but this book was structured in a similar way to the first novel in the series in which there were several instances of different places and monsters. it's funny how rereading this at an older age my feelings about characters have changed, and i really feel so strongly about nico ): i love that kid. it was also nice to see rachel playing a part in the story, she's a pretty cool character. i didn't like how her and annabeth had some tension between them though. even if it's because of both of them liking percy can't we just let girls get along well ? they're both amazing and have complementary interests. the bit about pan was really emotional, and the book ended off on a good spot for anticipation of the next.
