Excuse me, but the whole holding-up-the-sky thing was so epic.

Honestly, every time I've read The Titan's Curse, I've thought I was going to spend the whole thing missing Annabeth, and then I've been surprised by how much I grew to love the new characters.

Zoe Nightshade takes the prize for best character in this book (in my opinion). Spunky, bold, and strong. What more could you ask for? 

She's even confident enough to admit when she's wrong (although it may take a while). Personally, I don't think anyone other than Zoe and Thalia could have filled Annabeth's shoes for the duration of this book.

I loved this series as a kid and I'm finally rereading it as an adult for the first time. It's definitely got a couple things that haven't aged well (this book definitely had some annoying sexism/faux feminism, and all the books in the series so far have had some (minor?) fatphobia and ableism), but all things considered it's not too bad. In my opinion this book holds up and I would still recommend it to anyone interested in the series, with the caveat that it's aimed at middle school kids. I'm really enjoying my rereads and getting familiar with these characters again, especially since I forgot so much of the plot specifics.

I finally meet the fan-favorite (according to my Tumblr for the past decade) Nico! A really fun book and a lot happens (maybe a little too much for my tastes now, but I have long aged out of this book's target demographic so who cares).
