Normally, when you come to the end of a series, you get a little build up before you come to the final battle. Not with this one! Most of this book is really just nonstop action, with a few pauses for story development (and character development). You'd think that maybe the action gets a little tiring, but it really doesn't. Riordan paces it in a way that gives the readers a break (just like Percy and his friends get a break). It's really well written in that aspect.

It is the end of a series (but we now know that we're getting another Percy book!), but there's room left for other stories. And man, did Riordan write other stories. I'm glad so many kids like this series so much, and I can't wait to continue on further than I made it the first time.
