3.5

Exciting and fast paced but there were a few focused plot lines that I found uninteresting.

Spoiler

Grover's 'Pan saga' has been boring from the start and this book made no improvement.

I liked the idea of the labyrinth and how it was used in this book. I love Tyson so much, any book with him is instantly better. Looking forward to the final instalment in this series!

another great installment to percy’s adventures with his friends. this time percy has to go into the labyrinth to find multiple entities and stop kronos’s attempts at defeating olympus. 

this was a fun read and had great stories and tidbits about various greek mythological creatures. i did not know about

This one’s my favorite in the series so far!! I feel like most of the jokes genuinely hit, the fast scenes and snappy writing worked in its favor, and nothing was too scary for me. :) Well done, Riordan! I do think they could have done a few things a little more effectively, but I was impressed with this book!

As I sailed onto the lake I realized the Fates really were cruel. They sent Calypso someone she couldn’t help but love. But it worked both ways. For the rest of my life I would always be thinking about her. She would always be my biggest what if.

Happy to say that it's still good good good.

P.S.: The Finnish translation is absolutely terrible.
