This was a reread and the first time listening to the audiobook. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this series, but it’s turning out to be very interesting. I like briefly seeing Percy, but it was also really nice to start to meet, or rather learn more about, other side characters. It’s also nice to see Apollo really beginning to see what his children go through on the daily.
Graphic: Death, Grief, and Violence
Moderate: Car accident

This book does still feel YA appropriate even with the content warnings.caskraft's review against another edition

This book is so much fun, and I totally see why everyone loves Rick Riordan. I'll be reading many more of his books in the future, but I want to wait a bit to savor them. What a beautiful book for young folks to read with nary a terf in sight.
