It was better than the last ones, however, the characters are definitely getting smarter. I believe Percy is the one who has grown the most. And finally we see a proper reaction from hearing the nees that your loved one died. Not from Percy, that would be too realistic, but from a child, a little boy. Still, baby steps. Also, I keep hearing how amazing and kind Sally Jackson is, but she can easily be in the list of neglectful parents. On the other hand, I don't like how the relationship between Annabeth and her parents was handled.

Another fun installment in the Percy Jackson World. I am really enjoying my  re-read of this series.

Love the addition of the Hunters, getting to meet Thalia and how the o earthing plot to save the world thickens. A fast paced read with plenty of Monsters to fight and mythical creatures to meet.

Percy and friends are back for another PJO adventure. While the beginning of this one was slower and a little harder to get into, once the action picked up, it was hard to put the book down.

Rick Riordan's book-to-book inconsistencies begin to make an appearance here, but they remain very minor.
