This one was so cute! My husband and I have both been Percy Jackson lovers forever, so I read this aloud to him while he drove. I still vividly remember The Last Olympian coming out when I was in fifth grade. I wish I could tell a VERY distraught Kamryn that there would be more pure Percy Jackson to come. 💗 I thought this series was over then and it was so fun to revisit this series literally fourteen years later.
It was interesting to see so many modern references when this doesn’t take place much later than TLO. I mean he was sixteen, and then seventeen. I definitely felt the time jump in references, though. Boomers and man buns galore.
We both laughed a lot, and the quests were fun. A light, quick read that still had heart. Also, it seemed like more is to come . . . I will always, ALWAYS preorder any Percy Jackson books! We have about three copies of each of the other book in this series since we were both such huge fans, and it’s sweet we get to share a copy now. But who gets to have it on their shelf?
