As always, the world-building was on top, as the Greek mythology collided perfectly with the modern world. The characters were diverse, yet there's no waste of it, even the supporting characters play significant roles. I think this book picks up heavily on the themes of family and friendship, and it successfully delivered the message.
The writing style was actually good, just not my cup of tea. Someone said that Harry Potter is written in millennial and Percy Jackson more like Gen Z, and I like Harry Potter's writing style more, even though both are good.
Some things may have changed from the original Greek mythology to fit the storyline, but it was evident that Rick Riordan did an excellent job researching the history. This may not be my favorite book of the series, but I still think "The Last Olympian" is worth reading.

All of the relationships in this series are beautiful in many different ways. Each demigod is a hero in their own way. This giant band of misfits joined together and changed the way the world works.
Percy may have been an idiot about girls the entire time, but I’m glad he finally came to his senses. As much as I hate the word, Percy and Annabeth were always “endgame”.
