I adored this book. To be honest, I've loved reading everything in this 'verse. The characters were fun. I preferred getting more chapters from Frank and Hazel compared to Jason, Leo and Piper.  Hazel had an awesome background and Frank had a lot of character growth.

Back to Percy in this one, with all the action you expect in a Percy Jackson book. Again, I do think this could have been on the shorter side, but Riordan is trying to pack a lot into this series. 7 demigods going on a quest! Things are bound to get a little tricky.

Even though we know what's going on because of book 1, there's still the suspense of Percy remembering who he was and connecting back with his Camp Half-Blood friends. We do get some fun new characters though, and the inclusion of someone we already know. The ending definitely came back to me once I read this, and it really was a great weekend read!

3 hours 54 minutes - I loved reading this book, the characters are so endearing, and seeing Percy again was always going to be a good thing. The plot felt very intense, particularly towards the end at Frank's house, I could almost imagine tense music playing in the background. There were, admittedly, parts that felt a little slow - the introduction to the new camp, and the journey to Alaska felt like they dragged slightly too long, but overall this didn't really change my enjoyment of the book all too much. The ending allowed a happy conclusion but also a cliff-hanger where the two perspectives will merge and I am excited to see how that happens.
