This was a reread. And I'm so glad that it was and I didn't have to wait a whole year for the next one to come out after that cliffhanger. I mean I lived through that when I was in high school and this book came out the first time. But I'm so glad I don't have to relive it.
Rick ran into the problem that he had too man characters that he couldn't build a world a where they interacted more and bonded over more than the task on hand and trauma. I think it was lacking a lot just normal teenage conversations. Or if they did it was done in a humorous way that made the main male characters seems dumb or extremely immature which for someone of the characters didn't fit with what we knew about them. And then there were allusions to interactions, like Annabeth and Piper eating each others breakfasts that was mentioned once but never continued on through the book. It was like 'why even include it? other then to mention that they new each other from CHB." I know that there was time that passed between Annabeth and the TLH characters but still it didn't feel like any of them had bonded at all.
Some things that I did like was the few Percy and Jason working together moments. I wish we truly got more of that. Frank and Leo had their weird competition thing going on. Coach Hedge taking the spotlight anytime he was mentioned. Reyna being a queen when everyone else treated her like disposable garbage. The mutual disdain of Octavian by anyone who met him.

So far, this one is my favorite out of this series alone. Itās an epic tale of bravery, friendship, and the struggle for unity. This story follows the seven demigods of the Prophecy of Seven as they embark on a dangerous journey to prevent war and fulfill their destiny.
The biggest standout feature of this book is that itās centered around Annabeth Chase. Going into this series, I was expecting much more Jason main character energy. Iām definitely not complaining about this change. Longtime fans of Riordanās work will love to see Annabeth go on a solo quest that will keep them on their toes. Her journey to follow the Mark of Athena is so impactful to this overall narrative. We really get to see her identity come to life.
But what truly sets this book apart for me is Leo Valdez. He poured his heart and soul into the Argo II, controlled simply by a Wii remote. Leo provides some much-needed comic relief. Thereās so much more to him than just his jokes and banter, though. Heās insecure and feels like an outsider, and I couldnāt stop rooting for him. Watching Leo rise to the occasion time and time again made me feel like a proud mom. Heās brilliant, and his inventions help make every scene heās in unpredictable.
Each character brings something unique to the table. You can feel the tension between the Greek and Roman demigods, and the gods in general. All the friendships, relationships, and even the enemy dynamics feel so real.
This book started off slow, but once the action sped up, so did the story. I love how beautifully these books bleed into the next one, and Iām looking forward to whatās next.
