This was my first time reading this book & I have thoughts! It was such an intriguing premise with a really fun plot/characters & reading this series may spin me into my Greek myth retellings era! I definitely will be continuing this series & I loved it! On the other hand, this book had a plethora of extremely problematic moments that were incredibly disheartening to discover, especially considering how well loved this series is. I know Rick has actively put effort into educating himself & doing better & acknowledging his mistakes in his earlier books, etc but it was still hard to read at times. I did really enjoy it, but I also feel sad

This was the second time I read this book after initially reading it when I was 13, so I already was going in with a lot of nostalgia tied to it. I did not remember how fun this book was! It felt like a ride and we were hopping from adventure to adventure. It did the best job a first book can do, introduce a cast of characters and thoroughly introduce each one, give us the chance to meet them all. I am excited to see what they characters get up to!

I can't be unbiased when it comes to Percy Jackson, sorry. I decided to re-read TLT to have it fresh before the show release, but then I packed all my books in boxes in November due to Real Life Things and forgot to keep it out, so I couldn't get it out until January 🥲
There were so many things I didn't remember, it was kinda like reading it for the first time. I love Percy, Annabeth and Grover sm, my silly little kids.
