hmmmmm. 
 I don't know what I really felt, in terms of rating? I liked it, I enjoyed it, I laughed, I just feel like.... It was missing something, but I don't know what. 
 I really missed Percy. He's one of my all-time favorite characters and he holds a special place in my heart. 
 Hopefully whatever's nagging at me will wear off by the next book. 
 I can't say I didn't enjoy it though; even though it took me ages to read and I had zero motivation (most likely the book hangover), it definitely wasn't a bad book. 
 I feel like, since the prophecy is there and looming over us, we can't really expect anyone to die? Like, Piper, Leo and Jason are obviously three of the seven, so that means they can't die before the prophecy even starts, so I can't really fear for their lives when they're in peril, if that makes sense? I don't know. It's something that has to happen with books with prophecies in them, and maybe it's just a me problem, but oh well.
