I love you Percy Jackson.

"So what will it be? Safety, or a future of pain and possibility?" (p. 25).

I couldn’t put this book down, I loved it so much! The return of Percy Jackson (finally) made me so happy and I just loved pretty much everything about it. The only thing I didn’t like

was that we still don’t know the entire prophecy at the end of the book

but who knows, maybe we’ll know in the new book(s) of the series
Also I’m kinda sad

we didn’t get to see Sally Jackson hear the news of her son, even if it was in a dream or something

4.0

Back to Percy in this one, with all the action you expect in a Percy Jackson book. Again, I do think this could have been on the shorter side, but Riordan is trying to pack a lot into this series. 7 demigods going on a quest! Things are bound to get a little tricky.

Even though we know what's going on because of book 1, there's still the suspense of Percy remembering who he was and connecting back with his Camp Half-Blood friends. We do get some fun new characters though, and the inclusion of someone we already know. The ending definitely came back to me once I read this, and it really was a great weekend read!
