Loved this book, and excited that there will be more in Percy's story. There is a lack of a "big bad" beyond the threat of not getting into college, but after what Percy's been through I think that's fine.
Docked stars as i had a hard time figuring out where this book took place in time. A few current references but Estelle is mentioned (not by name) who I already know about... I can't remember if it's Nico or Magnus Chase who comments on the name in a different book.
Seeing as Percy is a senior in high school and the story is "pre Estelle" it being set in 2023 doesn't quite make sense.
But this is something I feel like Rick has kind of done in HoO and Apollo and kept the references current and not cared for actual timelines. Didn't take away from the story, except I kept wondering why Estelle wasn't at dinner with them - so I was confused for a min.
