The only reason I didn’t rate it higher was bc I guessed the plot at the end of the book halfway through. But still, honestly, Rick Riordan is such an amazing writer and all his books just grab me and don’t let go until I’ve finished reading it. It was amazing and I can’t wait to start Son Of Neptune.

 While I think this book is a little longer than it needs to be (see the rest of Rick Riordan's books, I'm guessing. Why do they get so long??), you keep reading because you need to know what happened to Percy. And who the heck this Jason person is. The way the entire plot is set up really works to keep you reading and keep you guessing, all the while introducing you to Greek and Roman myths that maybe you didn't know about.

I do remember reading this when it first came out, but I couldn't tell you anything that happened in besides the fact that Percy disappeared and I remembered the things about the Roman camp. I also never actually finished this series, so I am excited to see where it goes next!

Here's to seeing if I can fit all the other books in before the new Percy Jackson book comes out in September.

I think I am growing to love the hero’s of Olympus just as much as I love the Percy Jackson series I know it’s just the first book but I have high hopes and love the three new demigods at camp 
Enjoy xx
