I didn’t need to see Percy Jackson get college rec letters it feels wrong. Billing this as a sixth book in the best children’s OG series is a crime. It felt like I was reading modern fan fiction — references to TikTok and WandaVision??? Spare me. The characters felt overdone and overly cheesy, and the whole effort lost its charm. Disappointing.
