As engaging as Riordan's other books, but instead of ancient myths, based on the Jules Verne canon, specifically 20,000 Leagues under the sea. What if Captain Nemo's creations weren't fictitious? Makes sense even if you haven't read Verne. Great adventure story. Violence levels OK for MS readers. Jupiter, the baking orangutan is a fantastic creation. He adores Mary Berry from Bake Off and creates gourmet food with mostly seaweed proteins.

I had a really hard time getting into this. Honestly the last 80 pages were nice but the rest of the book was so boring and so bland and even the gasp in shock factor moments didn’t capture me enough to keep reading like I would read the gasp moment then set the book down because I simply did not care. This book did not feel like a Rick book to me and it was a bit sad but I didn’t wanna DNF it I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt. But I’ve finished it now annnnnd that’s that.
