I didn't like the narrator at all and I need to remember this for next year and don't hype the audiobook. The book was good! As usual. I yelled out loud in a few places and laughed out loud in others (which got somewhat awkward at the office...) but ah yeah. LOVE ALEX!!!!!!!! So much!!!!

Solid ass book! Honestly, I'm a little sad I put it off for the whole summer, because that was a fun ride!! SPOILERS

I'm soooooo intrigued by the ending because I was not expecting a Percy cameo and now I CRAVE IT..... I NEEED IT. SHOW ME THOSE WATER POWERS SEAWEED BOY!!! NOW.

OHOHOHOHO I feel like Uncle Rick can't help himself with involving that man but anyways... I thought Rick's portrayal of Alex was chill, though I don't know a lot about gender fluid people, so I can't judge how accurate the portrayal of Alex's experiences was. I really enjoyed the deep dive we got into Samirah and Hearthstone's backstories/morals. Overall, this was a good adventure, though the wedding thing was definitely a little confusing at first. I see now how it was setting up for the third book though!! Magnus is a himbo as always, and Alex clocked him really well towards the end of the book. I love these characters, and I can't wait to see where the final book takes us!! But also what am I gonna do when I run out of Uncle Rick books to read T.T

I think I liked this book better than the first one, though the rating doesn’t reflect that. Rick Riordan never fails to make me smile, but I’m definitely not as emotionally attached as I once was to his characters. Maybe my tastes have just changed, or maybe there’s something different about this series. Overall it was pretty fun, I loved getting to meet Alex. Excited for how this series wraps up in the next book.

NO PUEDO, NO PUEDO, amé todo.

Desde que leí el libro que precede a este, supe que a parte de ser muy interesante en cuanto a trama, sería relevante en el trasfondo.

Los personajes solo van en aumento y hacen que los añore, cada uno tiene un trasfondo y heridas por sanar, pero siempre se tienen entre ellos para aliviarse. Nuevamente conecté bastante con estos, con sus miedos y sus sentimientos.

Hearthstone mi protegido siempre
