This might be my favorite one yet in this series. (It's a tie with Son of Neptune.) This one really rolled back all the lame character undevelopment in the last one (Mark of Athena). 
Frank finally had a personality again, Leo wasn't annoying, and even Coach Hedge developed.
I think it worked well that Annabeth and Percy had a separate storyline from the others. It allowed for everyone to have more significant screentime and not fall into background characters.

Truly adored Bob and Damasen.

The scene with Jason & Nico where Nico confesses his crush on Percy was heartwrenching and beautiful and powerful.
