4.5!! So glad they’re making a TV adaption so that they can hopefully capture this story in a much better way! I really enjoyed this book!

i didn’t think that i’d enjoy this so much! but i truly did and im excited to read the next books <3 i would definitely be a child of hera, or apollo.
very pleasant read. the talk with luke was so badass, too. i’m amazed.
my favorite quotes/moments.
-
“You want to gargle with toilet water again, Clarisse? Close your mouth.”
-
“Yeah,” one of her siblings said. “But see, we don’t care about the flag. We care about a guy who made our cabin look stupid.”
“You do that without my help,” I told them. It probably wasn’t the smartest thing to say.
-
"I'm not saying hello to a pink poodle," I said. "Forget it."
"Percy," Annabeth said. "I said hello to the poodle. You say hello to the poodle." The poodle growled.
I said hello to the poodle.
-
“You’re pretty smug, Lord Ares, for a guy who runs from Cupid statues.”
-
“Oh,” he said. “Um . . . drowned . . . in the bathtub.”
“All three of you?” Charon asked.
We nodded.
“Big bathtub.”
-
Even here in the Underworld, everybody—even monsters—needed a little attention once in a while.
-
I pretended not to see Annabeth wipe a tear from her cheek as she listened to the mournful keening of Cerberus in the distance, longing for his new friend.
-
“More security ghouls,” he moaned. “Traffic problems at the judgment pavilion. Double overtime for the staff. I used to be a rich god, Percy Jackson. I control all the precious metals under the earth. But my expenses!”
“Charon wants a pay raise,” I blurted.

okay so I had really high expectation and I was really excited to read Percy Jackson and... it’s not what I hope for.
Some part it was amazing! But other part I had to drag my way through.
I don’t think the writing style really match with me and the only character I really connect with is Percy.
And I was confuse about some of the gods, ofcourse I know a lot of them but some of the monster I was so confuse.
Basically it didn’t really meet my expectation. I think I would have like this book if i went into it with lower expectations. But I still want to continue with the series and hopefully it gets better.
Also I feel that this is not as amazing because I don’t have nostalgic feeling toward it.

ew me from the past
but I reread it again and still have the same thoughts. I’m more excited abt it now due to the hype the disney+ series created. but it didn’t wow me.
although will definitely continue
