I don't think this is was the strongest book of the series. I missed Anabeth, and I actually didn't like Thalia. But I like how things were set up for the next book. It's pretty clear that Nico is going to become one of tha main villians, and I'm excited to see where that leads. I feel like things are getting kind of repetitive though. We start at school, something big happens at the end of the year, Percy heads to camp, something big happens, then there's a quest. It's been the same for all of the books, and while I am enjoying them, I wish things would change up just the slightest bit. I'm excited to move on to the next book though.
