This was a re-read, but my first time listening to the audiobook. I love this book because everyone is finally together. After the struggle of the first two books it is so nice to see the seven together and working towards the next great prophecy. It was also interesting to see the balance between Jason and Percy as two demigods who've never had to not be in charge, learn to let eachother help.

Also big warning for Spiders on this one. All content still feels very acceptable for a YA audience

Bro where do I start. Interesting characters and plotlines. I found it to be pretty slow at first (inevitable for the number of pages) but it certainly picked up. I found all three of the final quests to be crazy; especially Annabeth's. That girl is a badass. Leo is amazing, as always, and I like Percy's humor. I'm indifferent about the others. But the ending was just fucking insane. Absolutely one of the best Riordan books, period. I'm hyped for the next book; I think it has the potential to surpass The Last Olympian. We'll see

Definitely more of a transition book within the bigger series, but still an absolute classic. I love the theater-kid giants in this one; I think they’re hilarious and this is just another book that really keeps the ball rolling and keeps me hooked.
