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.

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.

The book is very interesting because the plot is inspired from the Ancient Greek myths but it is  presented in a modern version that makes it very fresh.But the book has some flaws the world-building in this book doesn't exist. The author doesn't spend any time building his world so that the reader can be attached to it. The book has a very fast pace and sometimes some events are not mentioned in detail. He could have  cut down in adventures and spend more time in world building and in details.
