I LOVE these characters so much. I will say it again but this is if Percy Jackson was written in 2024 and super gay. What’s better than that???

The plot of book one is pretty hard to beat and I think that hurt my rating of this one. This picks up right where the first left off and then follows both Teo and Xio as they navigate the aftermath. There is a great sense of adventure and I loved the shared pov but it felt a little simple. However, the ending again had a great twist. I can’t wait to see how book three, if there is one, will continue the story. 

I will forever root for Aiden Thomas!
