I loved this book! It was so exciting to see Percy and Annabeth develop and mature after going through such a hard thing so young. This book was no doubt sad it made me cry so much and I am not one to cry over books. The character development through this book is so well written and I loved it.

4 hours 39 minutes - Definitely the best book of this series so far - the plot is so engaging, and the seven POVs work so much better when there is a clear, definitive split between two groups of them. The character development is amazing, making me see characters I only ever tolerated (Coach Hedge, for example), and made me feel for them, and want the best for them. It was very suspenseful as well, I found myself figuratively holding my breath at many moments of this book, and there were some really emotional messages throughout. Amazing read.
