A reread. Haven't touched this book since I was in early high school. So this definitely has been like 10 years. I tried to read the new PJO book and I was surprised with how much the characters had changed and evolved and even how borderline immature the book was. I mean this one is written for a younger audience. But even at 30 (well close to 30) I found TBOTL well written, entertaining, face-paced, talked about bigger issues (Pan and nature disappearing), all while have some humor aimed at middle school/high school kids. But nothing like the new PJO which is all horribly butchered main characters and filled with potty humor.
Anyway, I liked this one a lot and forgot how much I truly did enjoy this one out of the whole series. What I would give for Lee Fletcher to have survived the Battle of the Labyrinth.

Enjoyable read. I like Greek mythology. And Mr Riordan puts the story that is appealing to YA. The adventure is gripping and the banter is cute. The characters are likeable.

If I remember correctly this was my favorite as a child. The action in this one was incredible, and I could actually really picture it all happening. My favorite was the Gladiator battle.
That being said it may have been too action packed?? I found myself genuinely gasping every few pages in the 3rd act and I feel like I’ve lived 1000 lives just reading it.
The love hexagon also continues to grow. I do really enjoy how thoughtful Riordan is in crafting these relationships between the characters, and they’re all so young, these connections are really forged through friendship. Onto the next.

At first, I really hated the Labyrinth as a concept but I ended up really enjoying it. So many iconic moments on this one and as I said on previous entries, every book is better than the previous.💫🔥
