I loved this book. Rick Riordan is easily now one of my favorite authors and Percy is one of my favorite characters. I've always been fascinated by Greek mythology so, naturally, this book intrigued me. It's a very quick read, I got through it in 2 days, and I enjoyed every second of it. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Don't avoid it just because it's labeled a children's book because there's something in it for everyone!
hopeful

a comfort i didn’t know i needed to revisit. this series was everything to me when i was 10 and here i am 12 years later, a whole different person who loves this story in a brand new way. the fact that rick riordan wrote this story as a comfort and encouragement to his neurodivergent son is so important to me as a neurodivergent adult.
