This book is silly as fuck! I read the Percy Jackson series back when I was a tween/teen and really enjoyed it, so I wanted to re-read this first one before the tv series came out. I know that the future books will get deeper and the characters will be more well-rounded, so I didn't super mind how this one was a little more surface-level. The plot moves in such a funny way, like kind of slow but also jerky? I don't know. The characters are super cute and lovable though.
