I was gonna make a joke about it being a real cliffhanger but bro I can't focus on that when Percy and Annabeth are literally so cute.

She threw her dagger and within seconds he brings it back??? She's going on a dangerous quest where she might die and he walks her to the door of her quest cause he loves her and it's the respectful thing to do????? he is so down bad and I love that

YEAHH OKKKKK RICK I SEE YOU!!! You kinda ate with this book gorg very much a redemption arc from the previous two
You get points for giving me annabeths’s perspective AFTER 7 BOOKS be so fr why didn’t you give her a voice earlier- but better late then never!
Those, frankly, unforgivable pacing issues have been rectified! I was consistently engaged and didn’t have to DRAG myself through the middle third of it

But Rick- you are SICK for that ending. When I see you: it’s on sight

waited for the book to come out for a long time
