This is the second book in the Percy Jackson series and I'm sad to say I didn't enjoy it. It's not that big of a book but it took me months to finish, I just couldn't find any motivation to read it. It's strange though, because I loved the first book, I devoured that book in 2-3 days and I gave it a 4-star rating, which goes to show how much I liked it! Naturally, I was expecting the second book to give me somewhat of the same experience, but unfortunately that wasn't the case.

One of the things I absolutely didn't like, was Tyson. I just couldn't stand reading about him, I don't know why I hated him so much, I just thought he was an unnecessary character and that showed in the end of the book, when he just left to go to Poseidon's kingdom. Also, the fact that Poseidon would claim him so easily was another thing that bothered me! In the end, I just thing he was there to fill up a space, because in the first book Percy, Annabeth and Grover went on a quest and now that Grover was missing, the author felt the need to fill his space, as if Percy and Annabeth couldn't go alone to save Grover and retrieve the Fleece!

As far as the story goes, I think the book could have been shorter, it wasn't moving as fast as the first one and it wasn't as thrilling as the first one. Annabeth and Percy are still my favorites though and I think Percy keeps growing as a character and I can't wait to see him become more mature!

All in all, of course I'll continue with the series, because I love the premise of this book and I want to know more about the characters! Maybe this book wasn't for me, maybe I'll like the others more!
