it’s so fun to see how everything comes together in the end, especially since so much of the groundwork is laid here. 

i obviously enjoyed all of the percabeth moments but even more than that, i loved the depictions of the different gods we got in this story.

i wish a little more time was given to bianca’s death but at the same time since percy is the narrator & he wasn’t as close to her as someone like zoë (rip) was it makes sense.
