I enjoyed the book, although not as much as the first two. It did give me the vibe of a filler-novel and I wasn't super interested in the actual plot itself.
It was a little hard to follow new characters who I didn't really care about while seeing relatively little of 2/3 main characters.
Although speaking of characters, I am starting to understand Percy and the way he thinks. It's wonderful to see his own transformation and acceptance of his new role in the world. He's also becoming very sassy and funny.
I am very excited to see where the story will go and I hope we can start to see more action from the gods and have the war start to finally advance.
What continues to work for me is the writing itself. I think because there's not so much description or additional details, it's a super fast read and considering the shenanigans that the kids get up to, it works very well. It does also give the impression that younger readers would enjoy the series overall as there is a lot of action and dialogue but its neither overly poetic or descriptive. This isn't a bad thing at all, simply an impression and I do wonder if my younger self would have been more enthralled by the series.
It's still a good time. I can't wait to find out what happens next to Percy and maybe we can get some more character development.
