adventurous hopeful tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.5

Two notes only: 1) Nico is the best character. 2) This makes me want to re-read Song of Achilles. 

An aside: I like the growth we see in the relationships with Percy, his peers, and his complicated relationships with parents/authority figures. Overall, this series sometimes felt exhausting-each chapter seemed to pick at least one myth to re-tell and the books sometimes felt like a laundry list of “guess that Greek myth”. Overall these are a fun time and grew logically book over book.
