I enjoyed this book more than the first one. The characters were better developed and more loveable, and I missed the humor that Percy added since Jason was so serious in the first book.

10/10. I love this book so much. Just everything about it. I love loverboy Percy, homesick for Annabeth. I love getting to explore New Rome and expand the worldbuilding of the PJO universe. I also could not adore Frank and Hazel more. definitely high up on my list of favorites of the seven from the prophecy. Also, I enjoyed this quest and the side adventures more than the last book. I know I said I like the last book (and I do) but I do enjoy this trio more than the one in TLH. Also Tyson's back!!

4.0

It was hard for me to get used to this book with the dynamic between Percy, Hazel, and Frank. I was just missing Annabeth and Grover too much! But I love those characters individually, and I came to love them together. It also took me a while to get used to camp jupiter. I have too much loyalty for camp half-blood.
