CAUTION! THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK YET!!!!!

To me a lot has happened in this book. We learn that Athena sends only the bravest and smartest of her kids to find a statue that the Romans stole and put away somewhere safe where no one would find it. We have all seven of the demigods together on one ship with Coach Hedge to supervise them.

We also find out that no demigod from either of the two camps have "gone back to the homelands", meaning Greece and Rome, because of the many monsters that live in the Mediterranean Sea. Though it is there that Leo, Frank, and Hazel fell overboard all only because before that Leo was taken to the past via Hazel so that he can see why Frank keeps on asking him if he was Sammy. It's there we find out that Sammy is Leo's great-grandfather. It was at these underwater palace that we found a training center for the underwater heroes. Though Percy was quite upset about that they didn't want to meet him. Since he is the son of the water god but they just didn't want to met him.
