I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! If possible, maybe even more than the Percy jackson and the olympians series. I like how rick riordan still keeps the funny, personal narrative, but tells it in 3rd person (as a narrator) and still keeps the different characters points of view. I really liked how he's expanding on the demigod world by adding Roman demigods to the mix. i'm glad that annebeth and percy aren't in their 60s, and that they're still young. i can't wait for the second book in this series!!!!!
