Obsessed with everything about this series. It's been over a year since I've read this series, but I remember so much about it. Percy is very relatable, and I love all of the characters so much. There's something about the way that Rick Riordan writes that you just immediately get sucked into every book. I would 100% reccommend every one of his books!

I loved this book! It was humorous, action-packed, and ended well while leaving room for story expansion. You can tell the writing style was intended for children, but I loved it just the same.
