I loved this series as a kid and I'm finally rereading it as an adult for the first time. It's definitely got a couple things that haven't aged well (some fatphobia, some ableism), but all things considered it's not too bad. In my opinion this book holds up and I would still recommend it to anyone interested in the series, with the caveat that it's aimed at middle school kids. I'm really enjoying my rereads and getting familiar with these characters again, especially since I forgot so much of the plot specifics.

I liked this one more than The Lightning Thief. I enjoyed the faster pacing of the adventure. I also really liked that the characters were better developed and their interactions with each other felt more honest and trusting. I think there were a few things that didn't age particularly well but generally the writing was more fine tuned than book one.

A good sequal. Very similar to the first.

This book like the first one, was super slow in the beginning. Besides a few minor things it really didn't pick up until 50%. Some of the things in this book also unfortunately didn't age well. But that all being said I did enjoy this book & found myself flying through the last 40% & the ending of this one has me eager to pick up the next!I also loved Tyson as a character so much & hope to see him in later books & thought he was a great side character to help Percy's growth as a character!
