Fast-paced story but it's written so well that you won't even question it. Left no room for questions regarding character backgrounds— it actually added a lot of intricate details, same could be applied when talking about the adventures itself. There's suspense that'll keep you hooked every next chapter which it great for a teenager like me lol. The characters are lovable if not bearable— rated it a 4.5 because it left me on a cliffhanger HAHAHAH so if you don't want that i recommend buying the series all together so you can continously read and finish it all.

Didn’t think I would get so invested in this story. I often forgot that Percy is only 12. I do have to say that there are things he learned pretty quickly which sometimes seemed a bit unrealistic.

I was absolutely shocked about the Casino scene in Las Vegas. I really liked Luke too… And I really want Poseidon and Sally together omg.

The first book to an amazing coming-of-age story with a godly twist! I absolutely love this book and it really sets up an incredible and immersive universe for the whole series. I've always been fascinated by ancient gods and demi-gods and this story brings it all in a modern light. Fantastic and fun read! Plus I highly recommend the Disney+ show! It's pretty accurate (much more so than the movies since the author was actually involved lol) and modernizes it all even more!
