Bro where do I start. Interesting characters and plotlines. I found it to be pretty slow at first (inevitable for the number of pages) but it certainly picked up. I found all three of the final quests to be crazy; especially Annabeth's. That girl is a badass. Leo is amazing, as always, and I like Percy's humor. I'm indifferent about the others. But the ending was just fucking insane. Absolutely one of the best Riordan books, period. I'm hyped for the next book; I think it has the potential to surpass The Last Olympian.

I just love them so much. I love the alternative povs. I love them working together and growing together. They're just my babies 🥺🥺🥺 and PERCABETH BACK WOOOOOOOO 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Honestly the "who could possibly be the most powerful of us" thread is SO FUNNY because they and us all know that it's Percy's goofy ass 😂😂😂 love nico at the end like "yeah no offense but y'all ain't shit compared to Percy" ABSOLUTE KING. PREACH MY TINY GAY.

My ooonly gripes with this one is the weird Frank/Hazel/Leo tension (and tbh the whole "gotta pair everyone off" thing is lame. They're teenagers, hazel is THIRTEEN, they don't *all* have to be in relationships or in relationship tension), and the kinda half developed Percy and Jason conflict. I would have LOVED to see them lose control of their powers in some argument with each other, kinda like how Percy and Thalia did earlier on. Not just with the possession scene, but when they're actually themselves. Them working together so well at the end would have been even more satisfying.
But I'm never ever ever ever going to recover from that ending.
"As long as we're together." holy fuck 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
