Even though The Sea of Monsters is probably my least favourite book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, I still love it. The search for the Golden Fleece and the consequences of finding it are so important for the series overall. The ending of the book is so strong and makes you want to pick up the third book immediately. I think that the chariot races are such a cool element even though I had forgotten it (oops but that's why I reread it). The introduction of Tyson is solid. And as a reader, you just get to run around in this mythologic world some more surrounded by friends, monsters and godly beings.
