I do think that this book is more similar in tone/writing style to Trials of Apollo than it is to the original series. Without the stakes of the original story, and with Percy just doing silly little quests to get his silly little college recommendation letters, it just doesn’t hit as hard. And maybe I’m biased, but I wish we’d gotten a little more Annabeth.

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.

This was a fun and easy read but low-key, don't see the point of it... Because I read this series as an adult, I don't have the nostalgia for it so I don't particularly care for these new books

“Sometimes it’s the smallest waves that knock you off your feet… They hold a lot of power. They prove what the ocean is capable of, even when no one is paying attention.”
10 year old me would cry if she knew I was reading at new Percy Jackson book 14 years later. I loved being with these characters on a new adventure and I can’t wait for the next one.

Percy Jackson is back! And this time, his quest isn't focused on the world ending: it's focused on getting him into college. Honestly, the fact that the stakes were pretty low in this one (not that there isn't any imminent danger, this is Percy we're talking about), made this such a fun read. Reading from Percy's perspective is alwasy fun because he has some of the best commentary, but just the overall tone of this one was less serious than some of the other series set in this world.
Riordan already announced another book after this one, and I'm betting is going to be a trilogy (3 quests to get into college and all). It's great seeing Percy, Annabeth, and Grover get back together for quests, and I'm sure we'll see more of that in the next books!
If you're just staring your Percy Jackson journey and wonder where this one fits in: it takes place after the Heroes of Olympus but before the Trials of Apollo. Once this trilogy is done, I think it will be a nice little bridge between the two series!
