A great follow up, though it didn't feel like there was a lot of new material. Consistent in tone and all the cliches, caricatures, and middle-grade tropes are as present as ever.

Dealing a little more directly with the antagonist, and his many minions. Of course, Percy and the crew are outsmarted, and things are going to be exciting next book.

I would enjoy this more if I weren't so familiar with the Odyssey. I mean seriously, Percy is just re-enacting the Odyssey in a world where Odysseus existed... and no-one clocks this? Pacing is good but as I say the plot was a bit too blatantly copied and predictable for me.

[2022 Reread] This is probably my least favorite of the series. It just feels so rushed, yet also feels like it has no plot.

This was a nice good, quick read! I love the cliff it got me dangling from!! Can’t wait to read the next book. It did feel a little rushed, like we had to hurry along but I did do a lot of sleepy reading lol.

I liked this one much more than the first, though I don't know why. Perhaps because I didn't have the movie to compare it to. Still and all, I think it's just so-so in general. I'll read the rest of the series, but I'm definitely not totally invested in them like I have been with other series.

This is a fantastic series, full of adventure and friendship. I think I would have enjoyed them more if I was reading them as they came out. I still don't know how I missed these growing up!
