I read this over three days (crazy right?) and loved it. Percy is so witty and his comments make me laugh.

I love greek mythology and I’d heard such praise about PJ that I had high hopes for the series. Did not deliver. Much sad.

I enjoyed this SO MUCH! I'm so excited to have a new long series to read! In my opinion, this lands somewhere between middle grade and YA, but is written in a way that's still funny and exciting for me as an adult. I adore Percy and his sass, and his friendships with Grover and Annabeth are sweet. Also really love how much he loves his mom. This book is paced well, is both light-hearted and a bit dark, and is just a lot of fun. I can see why this series is a huge hit - even just the first book felt like something very special. It reminded me of how I felt as a kid whenever I started a new series that I'd end up being in love with for years.

Really looking forward to continuing this series.
