-5/5 stars

Este libro me parece una gran continuación para el primer libro nos amplían el mundo y nos presentan personajes nuevos que tiene mucha importancia en otros libros y las siguientes sagas, el libro sigue la misma fórmula del primer libro, pero no se me hace un problema realmente siento que interfiera con la trama. Pudimos ver más de la amistad de Percy, Annabeth y Grover lo cual me encanto más que todo por como se muestra la lealtad de Percy así ellos, también vimos más como funcionan las cosas entre los mestizos dentro y fuera del campamento mestizo y como afecta realmente sus vidas como los dioses siendo indiferentes al menos que tenga algo que los motive.

También creo que la trama es interesante y te obliga a seguir con la historia.

“But... you're still getting married?" Grover sounded hurt. "Who's the bride?" Ploypemus looked toward the boiling pot. Clarisse made a strangled sound. "Oh, no! You can't be serious. I'm not-”

3.5-4 // I won't go too in depth about really any of the Percy Jackson books most due to my very basic and similar thoughts that have already been depicted in far more comprehensive reviews. What I will say is that this book was steadily entertaining through and through. It did not fail to provide the sense of adventure given to us in the first book. With that said, this "steadiness" also made it so that there were no major twists or crazy plot developments which led to even more excitement. The level of excitement in this book was generally plateaued. I do think that its ending, however, gave us a glimpse of the potential the following books in the series have to present us with more of this excitement and anticipation. The introduction of this new character keeps the story from getting repetitive and bland.

Overall, this book managed to be a sufficient sequel to its compelling predecessor and I personally am still interested in continuing on with the series.
