I really, really like this series. I was super excited to see that all the characters get together. Finally! I love them all and was super excited to see it. They didn’t disappoint! I loved that the action started right away. No boring wait time! There’s so much action through the whole book. It’s fantastic! I love how the fights use all the heroes abilities instead of just a typical monster fight. Also there was new monsters we haven’t seen but they still follow Greek mythology pretty well. Plus the ending was crazy! It wasn’t a typical finish a quest and go home. You’re going to get the next book as soon as you can.

I really loved how developed the characters. During the book when they go off on mini quests, we can see more about the characters. The author makes you change your perspective of all the characters. I thought Jason was a show-off and Piper the typical girl who doesn’t do anything but they all prove you wrong. I love that we even learned more about Percy and Annabeth.
