The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan
4.0
I'm giving this a 4 but it's probably closer to a 3.5 - def my least fav so far but I still did enjoy it and 3 feels too low, so 4 it is.
I still loved the humor and heart in this series but tbh I missed my bestie Annabeth the whole time :( Also I was a bit disappointed that
but overall it was fun, loved the field trip to the Smithsonian and the introduction of Artemis and Apollo was fun. Also enjoyed the Atlas scene at the end and how it all played out. I feel like the last few chapters of these books I'm always just flying through.
I will also say that by the third book in this series I feel like the YA-ness of them all is beginning to show a bit. It just has started to feel formulaic - bad thing happens, Percy goes on quest to fix bad thing, cliffhanger at the end to get you into the next one. I'm okay with it because I'm still enjoying them though. Might have to take a little break before diving right into #4 though, we'll see.

Luke's death was a fakeout but I had to actually deal with the deaths of BOTH Zoe and Bianca???? say sike right now. that was so upsettin. I thought Bianca's was especially shocking and even tho it was ~the prophecy~ I didn't see it coming. I was like OH OKAY...we're in the big leagues now.but overall it was fun, loved the field trip to the Smithsonian and the introduction of Artemis and Apollo was fun.
