I'm changing my review from last time. First I would like to say that the ONLY problem that I have with this book is that the whole base of the story is that the gods need to cheat on their spouse to have the half-bloods in the first place. Now, I'm sure some of them do not care, and if they don't? Fine with me. If they do? NOT cool!
Otherwise this is an amazing story that I can't wait to read more about. Percy is not only likeable he's downright relatable and freakin' hilarious. You feel everything that he does, but unlike what some authors do, Rick Riordan lets you experience it for yourself instead of outright telling you how to feel.
I can't express how wonderfully the story flows and drags you under. You become a part of this world, entering into an adventure that (much like Percy) you didn't ask for but are going to succeed regardless. The world created is perfect in its imperfections, humans are still trashing the planet and on more than one occasion there are real-life issues being addressed.
