This is my least favorite if the original series, I don't really know why! Actually, it didn't help that my copy got stolen in school once so I was always annoyed when I thought about it LOL and since I never bothered to get a new copy, it's the one I've reread the least as I tend to just skip it. Still, I personally resonated with it the least. Not bad by any means, however!
the plot twist cliffhanger at the end of this book is the BLUEPRINT. still hits the same at 23
The ending...? THALIA IS BACK! And Tyson is so cute...! <3

The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan
This is another installment from the Percy Jackson series. It's just as fun and quick as the first one, bringing back old foes as well as new ones. They're a great set of books and I can't wait to read the next one.

A really good follow up to the first PJO entry! Unfortunately, it still suffers from all the same problems of the first book, glorifying America to the point of nausea. However, a lot of the problems are overshadowed by the fact that one, it's a lil kids book and two, if we ignore Rick he will go away, and we can start to interpret things our own way. I joke - mostly - as i feel it's a strong follow-up, only wishing characters like Tyson and Clarisse were more involved, as they make the book better in a lot of ways. I enjoy how we see Percy completely in his element (the goddamn ocean) but i do wish we had more exploration of his powers, he's the son of one of the most powerful sea deities and there was hardly any crumbs of that. For example, the siren scene makes me wonder would Percy be able to resist? Both creatures of the sea almost siblings, surely Percy too would have some similar powers, the ocean's own charmspeak?
