as an avid enjoyer of the percy jackson and the olympians series, i’ve found ToA to be very juvenile. i get its middle grade but so is olympians and it never felt so…cringe? there’s just some pretty stupid jokes in there that makes it hard to get through. i also think the names of their monsters tend to be much more complicated than the og series and it makes it hard to keep straight. i did find some of the backstories pretty interesting and there were definitely some charming moments in the book. overall, the book didn’t make a super large impression on me and i probably won’t be thinking about it in the future. i bought the whole series already though so i will be continuing :) 
3/5
