I wish the cast was more diverse and ADHD being potrayed as a heroic tactic made me laugh, as a person with ADHD(self diagonsed).

i enjoyed reading this, ive been meaning to get to this series for years now so im glad im finally doing. I really liked this book but i think i would've enjoyed it a little bit better when i was younger as there are certain parts or dialog that are a little childish (not a bad thing, and the blame is on me for reading a children's book).

Before reading i knew spoilers that a boy from the half blood camp was gonna turn on them and its unfortunate that luke is literally the only boy half blood we meet 😭(other than percy obviously), so pretty quickly i realized it was luke that betrays them. Knowing this didnt really impact the book to much but then i guess the ending couldve hit a little harder if i didnt know.

Did not expect ares to be the big fight at the end was 100% expecting hades despite already guessing he didnt steal the bolt, just assumed they would still fight.

It was very fun reading about percy, annabeth, and grover interacting throughtout the trip, they were so cute.

also the entire book i imagined poseidon a certain way and then we finally meet him at the end and hes like the exact opposite of what i had in my head so im gonna ignore his physical description.

anyway cant wait for the next one

Pretty fun, I’m definitely no longer part of the target demographic. I’d seen the movie and listened to the audiobook with my fiancé over a few months listening during our bedtime routine. Character development is definitely there, but it is plot driven following what is needed of the characters and that is dictated by the concept of fate in the universe. I wouldn’t call the cast diverse, it’s two powerful white god children and it definitely does fall intro the trope of a token character of color being more animalistic with Grover being a satyr with such focus on his goat-like features and characteristics. Not super deeply engaging, but fun. Scenes with the mother and her husband definitely problematic and confusing. Odd choice.
