 Loved it a lot! Watched the movie back In like 2015 so already had some idea of what would probably happen in the book, but the book is 100% better - although Percy should’ve used his iPod touch’s reflection to slay you-know-who like he did in the movie (even though they couldn’t have phones), truly peak cinema.
Overall book was really good and 100% worth the read. I started the book with a certain idea in mind on how it was going to turn out, but was pleasantly surprised with a lot of different things. Anyway 5/5 stars, would read again.
