I hope this won't be the only Rick Riordan book I like... I want to read more of his books, but none of them appeal to me!

To me Rick Riordan is one of those authors whose books I will always be interested in. Ever since first picking up the Percy Jackson books, I have loved his writing style. And as I am always on the look out for interesting stand alone books, I knew I had to read this book the moment I heard of it. 

Although this book is more Sci Fi than I initially expected (mostly as I just seem to associate Riordan with Fantasy), this book is a lot of fun. It takes the original world of Jules Verne's books, and integrates them into the real world, to write a story about a new generation. Creating a fun Science fiction story with some fantastical elements. 

I enjoyed this book as I have enjoyed basically anything Rick Riordan has ever written. Though surprisingly at the start I almost needed more suspension of disbelief than I have needed for his fantasy books. It took a little bit to get into, but in the end I can say I highly recommend this story to anyone who has loved Rick Riordan's other work.

it’s been a long time since the last time i read uncle rick’s book and this one, as i expected, another masterpiece! he wrote more diverse characters in this book and i love it.

the plot twist honestly surprised me. i never thought that dev would be the traitor here. also, it’s my first time to read about underwater and it took me more time to understand the situation or even to imagine it inside my head. however, i do still enjoy this book to the fullest!
