Didn’t enjoy this one as much as the first. The ending was amazing, and unexpected. I think I liked the first one better because Grover was a better side character than Tyson. No hate tho.

I found the beginning to be slower than the first book, but I think I liked it better in the end!

Fun, but I'm gonna stop the series here. I look forward to reading this with my future children, but it is definitely overhyped and does not hold up for adults.
