Knowing there was a Percy Jackson TV show coming was one thing..but finding out that ‘Uncle Rick’ had decided to release a new book too? That’s a fan’s dream come true. It was so great getting to return to Percy’s whole POV and getting to go on an adventure with the Celestial Trio once more. Although, the circumstances make you feel bad for him..I mean c’mon! The boy helped save the world twice within only a few years of each other, he deserves entrance into a college for demigods. I won’t lie though and say it doesn’t make me immensely happy seeing him back on adventures. I know he’s been through a lot, but I think as readers we have this weird desire to see our faves suffer a bit because it means more content. This book had the same energy as the original series, and Percy has not lost his sarcasm or selflessness even with all he’s been through. Getting to see Percy, Annabeth, and Grover on a quest together was amazing. The three of them just work so well together, and they always have since the beginning. Some of the best parts of this book were getting to see them not having to worry about anything life-threatening and just enjoy being in each other’s presence. Overall, I thought this book was great and hit back at the heart of what made these characters and original series so beloved. I just wish it had been longer…but I can’t complain too much now knowing that there will be another adventure coming within the next year.
