SO. SAD. I don't think I cried, because it was close to a year ago that I read this, but I know that it was so so so so so so sad. If you already got this far in the series and you think that other things in the Percy Jackson verse were really sad or emotionally damaging, this one will definitely take the cake. Your heart will 100% be broken for 75% of the book, so just . . . prepare as much as you can. It's a real emotional roller coaster . . .
