If they're not willing to fall into Tartarus with you, they're not worth it. Percabeth is the standard <3

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 . . .

The book started off quite slowly (for Rick riordan’s standards) but soon sped up. Percabeth is chef’s kiss in this book. Some parts are quite graphic compared to PJO and the first 2 HOO books. It’s really creepy and contains a lot of painful stuff. 

And Nico is back!!!!!! Omg Eros basically forced him to out himself!!! I hate Eros sm!!!! I almost cried when Nico smiled and when he kissed hazel’s forehead 😭 AND THE WAY HE AND JASON TALKS ABOUT HIS SEXUALITY IS SO SAD. PLS LET HIM ACCEPT HIMSELF PLSSSSSSSSS

This one took me a really long time to get through, but it was another good installment in the series. I was definitely rooting for the characters all the way through, and I loved Frank's and Leo's character development. I'd recommend this to any fan of adventure stories or anyone who is into this series already.

I loved this book. It was amazing. The plot kept me engaged and enthralled, and on the edge of my seat a lot of the time. The characters were amazing and their relationships were strong.
