Somehow I forgot how absolutely gone on Annabeth Percy really is, this was the perfect reminder lol this boy is OBSESSED and I loved every single second of it.
Another absolutely hilarious and nostalgic adventure, I was crying from laughter and made soso many notes while reading.
The PJO universe really feels like home and I hope no matter how old I get I never grow out of loving these books.
" I am a guy of limited talents. If I can‘t kill it with water, a sword or sarcasm, I am basically defenseless. (I come preloaded with sarcasm.)"
"A soap maker offered cruelty free soap. Because nothing is worse than showering with cruel soap."
Percy, I love you with all of my heart.

Loved this book, and excited that there will be more in Percy's story. There is a lack of a "big bad" beyond the threat of not getting into college, but after what Percy's been through I think that's fine.
Docked stars as i had a hard time figuring out where this book took place in time. A few current references but Estelle is mentioned (not by name) who I already know about... I can't remember if it's Nico or Magnus Chase who comments on the name in a different book.
Seeing as Percy is a senior in high school and the story is "pre Estelle" it being set in 2023 doesn't quite make sense.
But this is something I feel like Rick has kind of done in HoO and Apollo and kept the references current and not cared for actual timelines. Didn't take away from the story, except I kept wondering why Estelle wasn't at dinner with them - so I was confused for a min.
