It was so great to revisit this book! I wanted to reread it before the adaptation comes out to refresh the story in my mind and oh boy do I not regret it! The greek mythology nerd in me is living for this book series, it is so immersive and funny. Percy, Annabeth and Grover are so likable, I wish they were my friends in middle school. Doesn’t get 5 stars because it is one of the weakest books in the series in my opinion
