Here are some scattered thoughts: The references to The Odyssey were hilarious. I appreciated that they gave Clarisse some character depth, but some of her actions in this book just made me want to facepalm. Loved the focus on Annabeth's feelings and trauma - the Siren scene was heartbreaking. And I love Tyson. I wasn't expecting him to be, but Luke is actually a good and threatening antagonist. The concept of Kronos is still so dark for a middle grade book, but I'm definitely not complaining. This series is crazymrlikely's review

Tyson is literally the best brother ever and I'd kill for him. Percy count your days because I'm about to steal your brother.
