The books require a lot of suspension of disbelief, sure, but it’s all great fun. I enjoyed tucking in to read the book because there’s so much hope and grit in the characters. I adore Annabeth in particular - as a middle schooler, I would’ve wanted to be her.
This is a reread, so I already knew I would like it. It messes with me a little because I was introduced to the movie first and while I know fans don’t like the movie… it’s my first introduction and I always compare everything to it. I found myself surprised by all the stops along the journey, because I didn’t remember them (they weren’t in the movie). There’s so much lore - even the references are delightful.
I enjoyed my reread and already know I’ll read it again someday.

Several characters in this book have diagnoses of (or belief of having) ADHD and dyslexia. This is explained away by their demigod status.cinhein's review against another edition
