I couldn’t put this book down, I loved it so much! The return of Percy Jackson (finally) made me so happy and I just loved pretty much everything about it. The only thing I didn’t like was that we still don’t know the entire prophecy at the end of the book but who knows, maybe we’ll know in the new book(s) of the series
Also I’m kinda sad we didn’t get to see Sally Jackson hear the news of her son, even if it was in a dream or something
Also I’m kinda sad

Still to this day one of my favourite Rick riordanverse books.
The dynamics between Percy, Hazel and, Frank will forever be one of my favourite trios ever and the engaging plot is certainly a lot more hooking then The Lost Hero.
Where piper and Jason lacked dimension, Frank and hazel evidently stole all of it lol.
The only downfall is the not needed comparison between Hades and Hitler, it’s not relevant and as I’ve heard from others a potentially harmful character comparison.
Overall one of my favourites of the series.

Nice! I'm still really enjoying the humor of HoO. The conflict set-up is crazy; it's insane how dark some of the backstories get. I will say that I'm struggling a bit with getting invested, as I don't find any of the new characters being introduced to be that interesting (personality-wise). I liked that Nico was in this book, since he's a very interesting character imo. Leo and Percy are definitely my favorite perspectives. The plot is extremely interesting. But the characters are a bit weak, since a lot of them are super similar (again, personality-wise). Interesting characters is a huge make-or-break for me, so as of now I like the original PJO series more. But we'll see how it goes - for the record, this book has very interesting side characters and some older characters, so I'm not complaining.
(One note: There's so much romance in HoO - I'm struggling to think of a prominent character that doesn't have a romantic interest. Sometimes I definitely appreciate it; but it certainly felt repetitive with this book, having to watch a very similar romance unfold again [ Jason and Piper vs. Frank and Hazel - the age difference with the latter is also ?!! ]. Yeah, this point is extremely nitpicky. But it's just something that generally annoys me.)
I keep hearing great things about the next two books, so I'm excited!
