The war between the Olympians and titan Kronos draws closer. I love the start to this book, with the evil cheerleaders and the human acquaintance. Percy and friends set out on a quest inside the labyrinth. And there are more monsters and battles and near death experiences than ever. We meet Dedalus and Calypso and Briaries and others. And we end the whole thing with some surprises and a bigger battle than we've yet to see in their world.

I honestly barely enjoyed this one. It had good moments and lines, but also some really bad ones. I don't like the rules of the world as Rick has set them up. Like the cabins but also the whole counsel thing. Many people are incredibly unlikeable and/or unreasonable with no other motivations than being a dick. Side characters are often very two-dimensional in that way.

I also didn't like any of the stuff between Rachel, Percy and Annabeth. It's such a cliche and not even a good one. Or the whole thing between Luke, Annabeth and Percy honestly. I could have screamed "just fucking talk" to my good like 10 times. I am glad this series is almost over because I am fucking done with it.
