Reread before the show aired. This is a childhood favorite that I was pleased to learn still holds up now that I'm an adult.

I've read this years ago. I remembered how I liked it so I reread it this year. I still liked it. This story is timeless and fun. I liked Percy, Annabeth, Grover and the gods. Even gods have problems, huh? I picked this up again after hearing about the series by Disney. I hope it's great. On to the next one✨
