Ask me why I loved this book? Thought it was an improvement on the first, had so much real tension and plot interest, and great characters going through some pretty dark things - all with trademark Riordan humor, quests, and inclusive writing. Tragic that this is only a trilogy! I could read a hundred of them. 

Rick, if you're seeing this - more books set in Boston, please. I'm literally begging you. This book mentions Anna's Taqueria and the Thinking Cup on Newbury and I texted like four people about it.
