It took me almost 5 months to finish this book. It’s not that this book is poorly written, it just so boring. Giving this book a 3 stars is more than enough. Dear future me if you’re reading this review, there’s no need for you to reread :)

Do I read books for middle schoolers? Yes, I do. Rick riordan is a talent and his stories are so captivating.

Non-spoiler review
I NEEDED this five-star read. After the books I've read lately, all the DNFs, I so badly NEEDED something so full of life and color and feel-good relationships that warmed my heart and had me laughing, crying, and on the edge of my seat every step of the way.
Full disclosure, I've never really loved any of Uncle Rick's leading ladies. (I don't consider Rachel Elizabeth Dare a leading lady, so my love for her stands.) But oh my gods, Ana is such a wonderful character. She's intelligent without putting others down, she's strong without needing to beat fifty grown men to prove it, she's vulnerable and kind in such an honest way. I absolutely loved her, I loved reading from her POV.
The study of oceanography in this book is so fascinating, I've learned so much. The action was so amazing, so exciting, the characters were all so loveable and fleshed out, and the plot twists were insane. (I didn't see ANY of them coming!)
I was on the verge of a reading slump, and this book saved me. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it as it truly is, as I expected it to be from Uncle Rick, a brilliant masterpiece that I was more than happy to dive deep into.
