This book is just so much fun, like I know the last book was fun but I just felt a bit outside of it because it was so classically middle grade. I love middle grade and still read it but I just didn't feel as connected as I was hoping, BUT there is hope! 
 The Sea Of Monsters starts with Percy at another School, this ones for problem kids and takes a real laid back outlook on education I mean kids playing dodge ball with lava rocks? Sure why not XD 
 Percy is told by his Mum that he won't be returning to camp but after a run in with Monsters and Annabeth coming to save his butt (as usual) he's swept away via magical Taxi to help save the camp. 
 SO much happens! So much happens in 270 pages and it was just epic, seriously we met Hermes the god of messengers and travelers I instantly loved him and his personality I can't believe he was on maybe 4 pages and I love him? What is this genius writing and give me more please. 
 Tyson is the new character introduced and hello my darling child, don't worry about everyone else because I will protect you (not that he needs protecting) (view spoiler)[ I'm so sad that we get these fantastic characters for one book and then they leave :( at least Annabeth is still here (hide spoiler)] 
 The Annabeth and Percy friendship has developed so much. They went from embarrassed reluctant friends to a solid unite that works well together and cares so much for each other. 
 Okay fave parts: (view spoiler)[ 
 - When Percy was turned into a Guinea Pig and then stole Black Beards Pirate ship! 
 - Percy learning to control his powers more and work with the Sea Currents 
 - Tyson and Rainbow <3 
 - THALIA COMING BACK FROM THE DEAD OR BACK FROM THE TREE? I DON'T KNOW WHERE SHE WAS BUT I AM INTERESTED 
 - Hermes caring for Luke and wanting Percy to try and help 
 - Grover being a cyclops bride YES QUEEN YOU WORK IT 
 - Chiron and his party Centaurs seriously they are frat Centaurs how could you not love them?! (hide spoiler)] 
 The reason I haven't given this 5 stars is because while I loved it I'm not completely in love with it, don't ask me why just know that star ratings are hard.
