I didn’t know I needed a spiritual successor to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, but apparently I did. Absolutely fantastic, I loved every minute of it.

Overall solid book with some cool story beats and decent emotional depth, but still doesn't manage to break any new ground in story structure or characters that the author hasn't been over several times.

While I enjoyed this book overall, it wasn't a standout to me, especially compared to the other Rick Riordan books I've read. The voice wasn't as captivating, and there were some elements that I wasn't crazy about him adding (as a male author, writing a female main character). And the characters themselves did not really seem to act their age. The world was interesting and exciting (super cool tech!) but I felt like the plot could have been more developed. I know he planned this as a stand-alone, but I feel like if it kept going as a series, it would only get better.

if this book existed when i was 13, one (1) it would have cured my thalassophobia, two (2) it would become my entire personality, and three (3) made me more insane.

good times
