Reread 1/14/24: No like…this is my Avengers Endgame. 

Love the contrast between the group on the Argo II and Percabeth in Tartarus. This book is definitely in my top 3 Riordanverse books ever.

PERCY&ANNABETH: The greatest love story of all time. What more is there to say.

JASON: I'm...warming up to him. He's definitely my least favorite of The Seven but I low-key feel bad for the guy. 

PIPER: All she did was wake up a dragon in her 1 section but at least she slayed doing it. 

FRANK: had a major power up and he's probably my second least favorite but it was heartwarming to see him become a powerhouse by the end. His stick thing tho...is that still a factor like at all or are we ignoring that...

LEO: Okay maybe he's low-key a baby intel but I actually liked his little thing with Calypso way more than I remembered liking it...And he DID have the screwdriver throw of the CENTURY. 

HAZEL: MVP of this book. I completely forgot she basically becomes a witch by the end??? Her fight scene with Pasiphae was one of the coolest in the franchise. The "Look" line gave me CHILLS I was jumping around my room like a maniac. 

Voted off the Island: ...Piper. Sorry baby girl you really didn't do much in this one.
