Interesting development of the larger plot! I also loved having Leo and Calypso in this, and getting to see where their lives are going. And the Hunters!! I knew in my heart there had to be some lesbians in that crew, and getting to see a couple grow old together in the kind of cosmic-force of love they have is stunning. Always wonderful to see Thalia, too. I think this was a fun adventure overall, but it lacked some excitement that Riordan books typically have. 

I also like how dark this series is compared to the others I've read. It balances very well with the humour.
