I can't be unbiased when it comes to Percy Jackson, sorry. I decided to re-read TLT to have it fresh before the show release, but then I packed all my books in boxes in November due to Real Life Things and forgot to keep it out, so I couldn't get it out until January 🥲
There were so many things I didn't remember, it was kinda like reading it for the first time. I love Percy, Annabeth and Grover sm, my silly little kids.

reena's review against another edition

4.0

Re-reading this for the first time in awhile and it's a really good book for the plot and characters alone. There are definitely some errors when it comes to ages, birthdays and time lines but it doesn't take away too much from the book. I thought that it was kinda weird that Luke (a 19 year old) was letting Annabeth (a 12 year old) have a crush on him. Like...that's creepy isn't it? Anyway, 4 stars for now.
