Definitely more of a transition book within the bigger series, but still an absolute classic. I love the theater-kid giants in this one; I think theyβre hilarious and this is just another book that really keeps the ball rolling and keeps me hooked.

THE GANGS ALL TOGETHER ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»
I just love them so much. I love the alternative povs. I love them working together and growing together. They're just my babies π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί and PERCABETH BACK WOOOOOOOO ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»
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 πππ 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.Β
"As long as we're together." holy fuck πππππππππ

4.5
4 hours 42 minutes - This rating is a compromise between a lower rating for the beginning of the book, and a higher rating for the end of the book. I cannot be sure however, whether it is the book itself that I didn't enjoy as much in the beginning, or whether that was due to the stress I was feeling when I was reading that part. Nevertheless, the ending of this book was one of the best I've read of Riordan yet - I love how the three groups of characters end up joining back together only for things to end in tragedy, perfectly setting up the next book.Β
