“Stars," she whispered. "I can see the stars again, my lady."

I can't believe I forgot so many details of this series! It still holds up as one of my favorite books from the PJO series, but I can't wait to see if Battle of the Labyrinth or the Last Olympian. This is truly the book that changes the series. My thoughts on this book are: *screaming, crying, throwing (the book) across the room for what's about to happen*

I loved this series as a kid and I'm finally rereading it as an adult for the first time. It's definitely got a couple things that haven't aged well (this book definitely had some annoying sexism/faux feminism, and all the books in the series so far have had some (minor?) fatphobia and ableism), but all things considered it's not too bad. In my opinion this book holds up and I would still recommend it to anyone interested in the series, with the caveat that it's aimed at middle school kids. I'm really enjoying my rereads and getting familiar with these characters again, especially since I forgot so much of the plot specifics.
