I am overwhelmed with nostalgia!! Oh my gosh did I miss Percy and his antics. HE’S SO SASSY, and is such a dynamic character that I loved reading when I was in middle school, and absolutely loved reading now, nearly 8 years later!

I think Riordan has a phenomenal way of creating growth in characters without making it seem so out of their norm. Percy learns so much, but is still so true to his little 12 year old mind.

It definitely made me laugh that literally 8 years later, the ending still came to me as a surprise ?? It was pretty obvious now that I think about it, but the fact that I was surprised at the age I am tells you something about his writing. I just have so much love for this book and this series that I can’t wait to keep reading!
