It took me a bit to finish this book but I really liked it. So much was going on and it has just left me feeling like I need to pick up the next one right away.

Exciting and fast paced but there were a few focused plot lines that I found uninteresting.

Spoiler

Grover's 'Pan saga' has been boring from the start and this book made no improvement.

I liked the idea of the labyrinth and how it was used in this book. I love Tyson so much, any book with him is instantly better. Looking forward to the final instalment in this series!

another great installment to percy’s adventures with his friends. this time percy has to go into the labyrinth to find multiple entities and stop kronos’s attempts at defeating olympus. 

this was a fun read and had great stories and tidbits about various greek mythological creatures. i did not know about

hundred hands ones

, which was interesting to learn about as well as others. 

great book, entertaining and fun. excited to read the 5th (and what i remember being the last) of the series, although i hear there is a 6th book now too.

This one’s my favorite in the series so far!! I feel like most of the jokes genuinely hit, the fast scenes and snappy writing worked in its favor, and nothing was too scary for me. :) Well done, Riordan! I do think they could have done a few things a little more effectively, but I was impressed with this book!
