OH MY GOD HOW COULD IT END THERE

HOW

The worst part is that I was all, 'oh, there are still eight pages left, I'm getting giddy here, oh my gods it's happeni--NO! GLOSSARY? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!'



I think my frustrated kicking in bed woke up my boyfriend. At least he stopped snoring for a minute, so there was some good that came out of that ending.

As befitting the Percy Jackson universe, everything is amped up to the next level in this installment, and it's all damn good fun. Riordan has the uncanny ability to make me ignore little things that may bug me about a series and just immerse myself in the story. The myths, the characters, the bravery, the fear, the pride.

God, it's going to be a year. A WHOLE YEAR. Why did I have to read The Lost Hero last week? I could have continued in blissful ignorance and wouldn't be staring down this black hole of longing.
