I enjoyed the story, but I feel like it had less charm when compared to the Percy Jackson series. The characters weren't as lovable and there were elements that seemed to be added just for relatability (i.e. the mean girl Drew being mean for no reason besides bullying). I also wish the characters backgrounds (Leo and Jason) were more explored, but since this the first in the series, I'll allow a pass.
Graphic: Death of parent, Fire/Fire injury, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Bullying and Abandonment
Minor: Death, Violence, and War
