The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan
3.0
It’s been so long… I forgot everything but my arrant, incurable affection.
I forgot the plot, many of the characters, but the biggest surprise was how fucking ridiculous this series is. I forgot how much random bullshit saves them in the early books and it’s so funny.
I don't have much to say because I’m not here to nitpick a book that’s for kids… I had a good time, and my love for this series and these characters will make me blind to some of the possible imperfections anyway. Therefore, this rating might as well be random. I feel like it’s between 3 and 4 stars? I’m rounding down mostly because The Battle of the Labyrinth is really good already. For some reason it seems a bit more mature in tone?
The biggest con for me was that Bianca seemed like she could have been made more fleshed out for the impact she has on the story through Nico. However, it’s a kids book that couldn’t be too long so I kind of get it.
The biggest pro was that ENDING (the battle, not the stuff after). I was crying at 3am and I can barely even explain why, but jesus christ that hit me so hard even though I knew what was gonna happen!!!!
