Love. Love. Love. The found family is amazing. The sarcastic, witty humor is fabulous. The main characters pulled at my heartstrings and made me root for them from the first chapter.
If I had one warning/critique, it would be that it does start off a little slow, but it makes sense, since Riordan is setting up a whole new world for us to play in. If you're feeling a little draggy in the bileginning, stick it out. I promise, it's soooo worth it!
Every series I read from Rick gets better and better!
