Stayed up late to finish the last book of the first Percy Jackson series! I liked it though it did drag in the middle for me (maybe because this focused mostly on one major event instead of the quest structure of previous entries). Love an interesting take on resolving the prophecy (a couple weeks ago I watched the 2010s Percy Jackson movies because I hadn't and, well, they are certainly a response to the HP/Hunger Games franchises including a premature Kronos confrontation). The ending feels like a resolution while leaving things wide open for more demigods (and Percy growing up). 

Percabeth sure takes time to simmer but he turns 16 at the end of this so that makes sense to me.
