I missed out on the Percy Jackson hype as a kid and this didn’t disappoint. This was fun and I can see how these characters have resonated with so many. The story as engaging but there were a few things that seemed inconsistent. I generally dislike first person writing and the repetition of some points was tedious. This is well suited for middle grade and I frequently had to remind myself not to judge too harshly. Overall a strong start to what I think will be an exciting series.
