It's a Rick Riordan book, so of course I loved it.  It followed a very similar plot arch to a lot of his other books and was a bit predictable in that way, but it really works for me so I'm not mad about it.  Something about Rick's writing has always really worked for me, even now that I'm an adult.
I was very glad to see that he's finally written a novel with a female main character.  It's also nice to see him center a South Asian character, as I feel he has been weak on that representation in the past.
There is also autism rep in this book.  I can't comment on how accurate it is, but I'm definitely very interested in own voice reviews of that Rep.
All in all, I loved it!
