It's not a secret that I adore Rick Riordan and his main character extraordinaire, Percy Jackson. This book, the long awaited sequel to Mark of Athena (which ended on a cliffhanger so disheartening even the author knew to apologize in his dedication) brings back all of our favorite demigods.
This book allows loyal fans to bear witness to the maturing of many beloved characters. Leo just reads like a calmer guy, Percy seems more at peace, Piper is stronger, and some long awaited answers about Nico finally arrive.
The book doesn't have the satisfying ending of a final installment (I know that's because it's clearly not the last) but it also doesn't have the action of the earlier books. It read like the falling action of a story...which was a bit disappointing. I'm still a HUGE fan of the series and I've already put the next book on my wish list...but this one is only 3 smiles.
