"I didnt have super high expectations for this book seeing as the author officially finished the series with the third book, and then started it up again with these last two. But oh how wrong I was... It was just as good if not better than the last three. My favorite part that I very rarely see in books, is a good, solid, HEALTHY, relationship between the mc and the love interest. I had forgotten how good it was to read that and have it written well and not just have two angsty infatuated teenagers who fight, break up, make up, and then fight again. Aslo for the first time since Percy Jackson himself, the mc is my favorite character. In fact, not trying to start a war here, but I actually like Jaron more than Percy. (Pls dont kill me.) Ah, I just love This series so much!"
