I honestly barely enjoyed this one. It had good moments and lines, but also some really bad ones. I don't like the rules of the world as Rick has set them up. Like the cabins but also the whole counsel thing. Many people are incredibly unlikeable and/or unreasonable with no other motivations than being a dick. Side characters are often very two-dimensional in that way.
I also didn't like any of the stuff between Rachel, Percy and Annabeth. It's such a cliche and not even a good one. Or the whole thing between Luke, Annabeth and Percy honestly. I could have screamed "just fucking talk" to my good like 10 times. I am glad this series is almost over because I am fucking done with it.
