I think I enjoyed the art in this one a little more even though it's not as finely detailed as the other. Or maybe I just enjoyed seeing Percy again. Or Nico (since his hair was on point). The action sequences were good (though sometimes cut waaay too short) and the dialogue was engaging. I loved that the story worked its way around to including the Roman counterparts to the Greek gods and camps! Made the story even more intriguing. I wish there was another graphic novel after this but I guess I'll just have to finally read the books!!

Maybe it's just recency bias, but I find these characters more complex and compelling than most of the rest of Riordan's work. Or maybe it's just because in this one they go to the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Either way, the art felt a little more fitting in this one as well, other than Percy's stupid hair.
