The only reason I didn’t rate it higher was bc I guessed the plot at the end of the book halfway through. But still, honestly, Rick Riordan is such an amazing writer and all his books just grab me and don’t let go until I’ve finished reading it. It was amazing and I can’t wait to start Son Of Neptune.

It took me a while to finish this book but it certainly was worth it :)

This book was quite long compared to the previous Percy Jackson books but this book is also multi perspective and follows all three main characters throughout the book. 

I really love all these new characters introduced in this book and loved reading their different perspectives and their struggles. 

I loved the Greek and Roman aspects of the book too, and I can't wait to see what is going to happen when the both sides will meet.
