Loved the fast paced action. I appreciate how quickly the author got to the 'main event' but I did think he overstated certain points (the endlessly repeated "there's a spy at camp" comes to mind).

Spoiler

I found the Annabeth-Percy love story a bit tedious and unnecessary especially with the Rachel and Luke jealousy elements. I did appreciate that the author didn't shy away from killing characters, it made the stakes feel real.

While the action was fun I thought this book didn't have the same narrative feel as the others but I suppose this was meant to be the main climax. Overall an exciting conclusion to a quick, high action series.

Not gonna say much except that this was the best percy jackson book imo. Everything came together and it was so well-written, I read over half the book in one day because the story gripped me so much I couldn’t stop

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.

Once again, this is not my first read of this series or this book by far, and I love it every time! My favorite part of this book is just how little Percy now cares about respecting the common rules/etiquette for respecting the gods. I think this was a great conclusion to a great series, and it was impressive how everything finally came together.

While I do feel this book is perfectly appropriate for a middle grade/ya audience, this book does get into a more devastating war environment where there are frequent casualties and injuries.
