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

4 hours 42 minutes - This rating is a compromise between a lower rating for the beginning of the book, and a higher rating for the end of the book. I cannot be sure however, whether it is the book itself that I didn't enjoy as much in the beginning, or whether that was due to the stress I was feeling when I was reading that part. Nevertheless, the ending of this book was one of the best I've read of Riordan yet - I love how the three groups of characters end up joining back together only for things to end in tragedy, perfectly setting up the next book.

this is my favorite riordanverse book. the pacing and character development make for a suspenseful and adventurous read. annabeth, percy, piper, and leo are my favorite narrators. they are funny and balance each other out, while providing different perspectives on the same journey. every chapter in this book provides something new and exciting. i love the argo 2 so much.
