4.0

After an 8-year break from this series, I made my return to Camp Half-Blood in anticipation of the series coming out at the end of the year.

I was a tiny bit skeptical about whether I would enjoy these books as an adult as much as I did as a kid, but I should've known better.

Somehow Rick Riordan manages to effortlessly blend adult humor with the kind of content that makes kids go crazy with laughter. 

I enjoyed the Percy Jackson books as a kid for the characters, plot, and humor.

Every single one of those aspects of this book has stood the test of time and was just as enjoyable and loveable as they were when the book first came out.
