3.0

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.

The battle of the labyrinth remains my favourite but this is a close second. You can really see how Percy develops as a person and everyone around him is impacted for the better. This book is so well written and even though I was rereading it so I knew the plot twists, a few still caught me by surprise. Incredibly enjoyable read. I can't wait to start the next series.
