This is definitely the most gripping one yet. I don't think there are any parts where I was especially bored. I really like seeing how the characters are developing. Nico was great; he's one of the most interesting characters, period. Kronos inhabiting Luke's body is SO dark, even though I did sort of call it, I was NOT expecting the series to actually go that route. The final book is shaping up to be really good!sophlouise_'s review against another edition

In lieu of a proper review, I'm just gonna list some of my favorite out-of-context quotes from this book, because let's be real, if you've read the past three books, you already know you're reading this one too.
If you've never been charged by an enthusiastic Cyclops wearing a flowered apron and rubber cleaning gloves, I'm telling you, it'll wake you up quick.
Spoiler
Nico had summons the dead with Coke and cheeseburgers.
One of the bear heads at her waist was now wearing a pair if crooked plastic Alcatraz sunglasses.
Spoiler
No prophecies for me. I would get overrun in the heart of a volcano by a pack of dog-faced sea-lion people.
It's no secret I love this series, and previously I thought Sea of Monsters was my favorite, but I've decided this one is my favorite. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
