As with the Lost Hero I very much enjoyed this installment in to the world of Percy Jackson. I like how Riordan is blending the Roman and Greeks into one story and showing them as two sides of the same coin.

With this book I did feel like there are a few too many powers going on.

Spoiler

Such as being able to shape shift into whatever one wants. This to me was a little bit getting of track and just creating some power that makes the character "special". I would have thought it cooler if there was a developed talent more along the lines of what Mars possesses.

I also wished that the end would have continued a little bit more

Spoiler

and shown the reuniting of camp friends, but, maybe Riordan left that for the beginning of the next book. We'll see.

Overall great story and I look forward to the next book.
