(edit: drinking game! take a shot every time i use the word ‘plot’)
1) this has to be the funniest trilogy i've ever read, no book has ever made me laugh out loud so much as this whole trilogy did
2) i could knock a star off solely for the reason that otis the goat wasn't in this specific book, but i won't do it. for now.
3) i absolutely fucking adored every character seriously
4) it's not like i could ever forget but this was a very strong reminder of why i loved the riordanverse so much as a kid
5) if you're a fan of the power of friendship, this is 100% the book for you
genuinely, my only criticism for this book might be the fact that there were too many sub plots going on, half of which were patched up quite hurriedly. if you're a fan of plot-driven books, you wouldn't exactly adore how the plot unfolds in this one. personally i don't really mind plots going to hell and i loved the characters so much i couldn't care less—but following the plot was a bit of a struggle occasionally. but again, i didn't care too much about the plot, so i can live with that.
