'em.

I love this series more than I can say. I'm going to start sounding like a deranged oracle so I might as well leave it here.
Can't wait to the next one!

percy is so hardcore in this also I found an audiobook on YouTube that is way more enjoyable to listen to than the official audiobook narrator omfg I read these books to chase the high of being 12 in the summertime again

12/2021 reread:
a) Annabeth gives me SUCH strong MJ from MCU Spiderman vibes. Which I say - if Zendaya had played Annabeth in the movies-we-do-not-speak-of, we might actually have liked them. Sure she's all wrong, but she's ZENDAYA and she basically IS Annabeth, minus the blond hair and gray eyes.

b) I love George and Martha. They are icons. They are the moment.

c) currently crying over the fact that Silena dies even though I've read this a million times and simultaneously laughing over the "I sit on a hotseat" chapter title. I adore this book.

d) The fact that this was named after Hestia, the coolest person ever is. Amazing.

e) Paul and Sally are ICONS. I love to see good parents.

f) "I figured our lives would be safe, at least for a little while" (343). Hera: I think nOt.

Final thoughts: I forgot just how good Riordan is at storytelling. He had everything set up from the very beginning and tied up all the lose ends that I didn't even realize were loose ends in this book. Not to mention the emotional rollercoaster it is. I often wonder if I simply like these old books because they're nostalgic or because they're good - they're good. These are so good.

Original:
hiHands down favorite Percy Jackson book. He's finally grown into his own skin, a little less annoying and a little more sure of himself. Not to mention Percabeth.

Also, I much prefer final war type books over questing books, so this is simply more my type. Instead of the rolling plot, I prefer the much more tied together thing.
