I enjoyed this book -- and I've enjoyed the series so far. I loved the dynamics and relationships within the group, seeing them form and develop.

I loved a lot of the action points and plot threads here, but I think the focus on 7 main characters was too much. I didn't find the new friendships and connections believable, which I think was just a case of trying to do too much. I usually love the way the author writes about characters connecting but there wasn't enough time with any of the new combinations to really see those friendships develop. I loved getting Annabeth's POV in this book though.

So I am going to have to give this one five stars. This book dragged me through mud and then punched me in the face. If you love the percy jackson series and you turn emotional reading sometimes I would definitely prepare to cry.

This book had me sobbing at 11pm in my bed with this stupid little book in my lap. 

I do think it was written very well. There's kind of fun riddles that keep you excited. I love how we got to follow Annabeth's POV for the first time and get to know her better. It also really showed us more of Percabeth's relationship (this is nit a spoiler, for anyone that reads this series in the proper order?) 

This book had funny moments and the sad ones. I do like how we see multiple people mix and get to trust each other, working together to save the world. 

I did not like the spiders in this book 😭. But it has beautiful quotes. 

I loved it.

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
