Literally cannot explain how happy I am to have Percy back. Even with his memory gone for over half of the book, him being there was just perfect. (How am I gonna deal with the next 3 book series of Riordan’s that aren’t centered on him???)

Percy’s opening line was the most Percy opening line I could have hoped for. Leo was a great sarcastic filler in The Lost Hero, but I definitely missed his commentary. I love every character he brings to the table, and I also really like how they are spaced out so you get to love them on their own time. Hazel and Frank might have been pushed to the background or Leo and Piper might have been pushed to the background. These books both gave me the opportunity to love them all. I’m so excited for the 7 of them to meet next book omg

I would probably read Riordan’s grocery lists, because his writing is just so easy to read. The fun spin he brings to mythology, the banter, the ace characters. In the previous book I didn’t really understand the connections between the Romans and the Greeks, but this one I got so much better. I definitely prefer Camp Half-Blood to camp Jupiter, but I see the appeal of both.

It was so nice to see Nico, if it was only for a little while. He seems so much more mature, and I’m very excited for Percy and him to reunite. The Bianca storyline also seems unfinished, but maybe that’s just me being hopeful...

Every time I read Riordan’s writing I feel so light and constantly think about how much I love to read. I’m so excited to continue with the Heroes of Olympus, and for reading every other book of his!!
