This book like the first one, was super slow in the beginning. Besides a few minor things it really didn't pick up until 50%. Some of the things in this book also unfortunately didn't age well. But that all being said I did enjoy this book & found myself flying through the last 40% & the ending of this one has me eager to pick up the next!I also loved Tyson as a character so much & hope to see him in later books & thought he was a great side character to help Percy's growth as a character!

I love this series, and this is far from my first read through. For some reason Sea of Monsters always leaves me with a little something missing. I'm not sure what it is, but even when I was younger this was always my least favorite of the bunch. That being said, I still love the series overall and this is still a really good book.

Moderate: Violence and Confinement

Once again, I've included some content warnings, but this book is clearly written for middle grade and very appropriate for that age group.
