Unpopular opinion: LEO IS SO FUCKING ANNOYING. I CAN'T STAND HIS POV CHAPTERS.
I know I'm alone there but I don't care. I'll carry the burden alone. The ladies don't love Leo. We fucking hate him.
I don't think he's as bad in other character's POV, but god he just gets worse every book. I'm hoping he's better next one since apparently the magic of a girl finally wanting him made him more grounded and less irritating.
Anyway, moving on....
I loved this book!
I'm so happy about the amount of Percabeth, even though they were struggling for real in this one. I felt so bad for them, but I love their connection and how they'd do anything for each other.
Their relationship is so beautiful. I love that they can see their future together in New Rome, but also I don't want them to leave Camp Halfblood... I'd rather they find a way to build a community like that at Camp Halfblood lol.
I feel like Percy and Jason will end up switching camps kind of, but again... I don't want Percy to leave Camp Halfblood (cries).
I really like how much we got of Hazel and Frank in this one and how we see how valuable and strong they both are. I loved seeing Frank grow into a leader, and Hazel realized she's just as valuable as anyone else there.
Bob was amazing, and I love how he helped Percy. and the last line!!!! Percy telling the stars that Bob says hi!!! I ALMOST CRIED.
I'm assuming Leo is going to somehow end up with Calypso. I like the idea that he'll go back for her, and I kind of like how they were together and grew to like each other. But no I didn't actually like them. Leo is just too fucking immature to be with anyone.
AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT NICO!!!
I knew he was gay, but I didn't know he had been into Percy. I LOVE THAT. It makes so much sense as to how Nico treated Percy in the last series.
It's so funny, because when people mentioned they all thought Nico had a crush on Annabeth I was soooo confused. I never got that vibe, but I did get the vibe he maybe had a crush on Rachel at one point. Now I feel like I need to go back and see what it was that Rachel said that made him blush.
But the scene with Cupid was so intense. I love that Jason was so adamant that everyone would accept him, but I totally see why Nico is so unwilling to tell anyone with how they already treat him and the time he grew up. I can't wait to see his story in the next book. I'm PRAYING for a Nico POV. (Please give me that over Leo. PLEASEEEEEE.)
I'm so excited to see how this ends! LET'S GOOOO.
