I loved this book. 5 stars! Favorite out of the series.

So I think this book was very funny,  but it did have its moments. I love how we get to see the main character grow, especially with the love interest. There are many great side characters we've gotten known throughout the series. The author does a great job at certain hard situations that have to be faced too, for example when someone will fall in battle. 

I thought this was super iconic. A got a little emotional a few times. This book is medium to fast paced, and it's even got a map. 

Can I just say, Nico Di Angelo? Yes? Do we all agree? Give the guy a break. Love him.

If you're thinking of reading this series, definitely give it a shot. Big chance you're gonna love it.

Loved the fast paced action. I appreciate how quickly the author got to the 'main event' but I did think he overstated certain points (the endlessly repeated "there's a spy at camp" comes to mind).

I found the Annabeth-Percy love story a bit tedious and unnecessary especially with the Rachel and Luke jealousy elements. I did appreciate that the author didn't shy away from killing characters, it made the stakes feel real.

While the action was fun I thought this book didn't have the same narrative feel as the others but I suppose this was meant to be the main climax. Overall an exciting conclusion to a quick, high action series.

this was a good read, albeit i did find the amount of time spent on the main battle to be a bit much. it felt repetitive since there was a lot of back and forth where it was a lot of fighting with Percy being the main focus of it all and not a whole lot else. i think having more build up for a final battle would have been better, rather than have ~50% of the book be battle scenes. 

i liked that the ending tied together everything and even left a bit there for potential continuity in a later book. 

overall enjoyable ending to a beloved childhood series.
