A wonderful addition to the PJO universe, focusing on two of my favourite characters. As expected, the plot was a great reimagining and mixing of classical myth, and I loved that it was so open and trauma and growth. The main message is that the only person who defines you is you, and that is lovely to see in a book aimed at young teens. It’s only a 4* because some of the writing in the early part of the book made me cringe, but a younger reader wouldn’t have the same issue.
