I loved this book! It was so exciting to see Percy and Annabeth develop and mature after going through such a hard thing so young. This book was no doubt sad it made me cry so much and I am not one to cry over books. The character development through this book is so well written and I loved it.

I learned last night on TikTok that this is one of the highest rated books on Goodreads, which is interesting to me! It does have a lot going for it; a lot of action, good character development, the inclusion of a lot of Greek and Roman mythology. Plus, Riordan just does a great job of infusing humor into his work. Which is definitely why a lot of middle grade readers are drawn to this series!

We get a cliffhanger in this one, but I don't think it's nearly as bad as Mark of Athena. We always knew the end was coming in the last book, so that's where we're left! Also this book makes me see why so many people love Nico, and I can't wait to read his standalone book that came out this year. Hopefully soon!
