In true Rick Riordan style, Percy Jackson and his friends have to save the world using their brains, brawn, and teamwork. I am usually able to fly through Rick Riordan books and always seem to enjoy them a lot, but maybe this just wasn't the right time in my life to read a middle grade fantasy which was over 500 pages. The plot was very fast paced and contained all the elements of a Rick Riordan story that I have grown to love, but something about this book made me feel like I was not only okay with putting it down to stop reading it, but also as if it didn't really matter to me whether I picked it up again. While reading it I enjoyed the process, but I didn't really feel that sense of urgency to continue. This was definitely not the fault of Rick Riordan - things have been getting busy and hectic with a new job so my focus isn't in reading as much. I will definitely continue on and finish the series, but it may need to be a little later.
