This is definitely the most intense entry of the series so far. There's been fighting in the other two books, of course, but no permanent casualties. It did surprise me that two of the main characters were killed off - though I did sort of guess it would happen, since they were also introduced in this book. I barely knew Bianca or Zoe, but their deaths definitely got to me; Zoe's a bit more than Bianca's. But Nico's reaction to finding out was just heartbreaking. At this point, I feel like I'm definitely getting into the meat of the story, which is exciting. More major characters are being introduced, and everything feels so much more high-stakes now. As far as minor things go, I like the incorporation of "fatal flaws" into the concept, since they were always a huge player in classic mythology (plus Percy finding out what his is). It's a neat detail. Great series so far!

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.

As good as all the other books in the series. Percy and Annabeth is so cute. The plot twists are great and engaging. I love Percy’s dry humor, it’s so enticing. All chapters  even the side charters were so well written and human, with real insecurities and personality. Some things that I really liked where

Spoiler

The improvement of the heroes relationship with their parents. But I kinda wanted more Annabeth and Percy moments. I also was kinda sad they didn’t include the day Thalia came back, like como on I wanted to know the backstory. Also, Bessie is the best

Super entertaining and keeps you on your toes, great plot. I actually predicted some things because of my background knowledge of Greeks mythology. It was super refreshing and rewarding to know about a story before it’s revealed yet. I was so proud of myself lol.
