This one was always my favorite out of the series, one of the reasons being the gods actually help out a lot more and you get to meet a lot of new ones. I forgot how much I love Rick's himbo Apollo.
Another reason I always liked this one is it is where the series takes a more serious turn. The first major character deaths happen in this book. Also Percy is more adamant about choosing the quest, so in a way this book feels more character driven than plot due to his motivation to save Annabeth. Same thing at the end, Percy chooses for the prophecy to be about him instead of Nico. The first 2 books it feels like most things are out of Percy's control, in this book he takes a lot more initiative.
