This was a re-read, but my first time listening to the audiobook. This book is where things start getting really interesting, everyone starts coming into their own. I appreciate the whole Nico arc and getting to see him come into his own and step up for the team regardless of what that reveals about him. It is also one of the darkest books. Percy and Annabeth really have to lean on each other and grow in their trust as they traverse through the underworld. While one of the most tense books, it is also one of the most rewarding in the series.

Still absolutely appropriate for a YA reading level, but on the darker side compared to the prior books in the series.

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.
