Okay. So.

I completely sped through this one, and I feel it deserved more time. I might reread it later on, and give myself more time to fully, truly appreciate the book in full.

I liked all the characters in this one, though. Maybe some chapters dragged more than others, but that was rarely because of which POV it was told from. I loved having the lost trio, and I loved learning abt Nico (I didn’t read PJO, so I knew nothing abt him beforehand), and I enjoyed learning about Reyna and seeing her overcome her own fears.
I think the end was complete and utter bullshit though, and felt fucking lazy. I loved everything else about this, but Leo’s character was absolutely exhausting this time around. He was just kind of a dick, and I won’t pretend I didn’t get emotional when he “died”, because I did!

But that last chapter? Bull. Shit.!
I will always be upset about that, I will never understand why RR chose to include Calypso. I’m not saying I hated her, I didn’t, I felt very neutrally about her. But what did she contribute? It felt like she was only included to give Leo a girlfriend; which is a god-awful reason to include a character. Maybe RR was in his #FreeCalypso era or whatever.

Another thing? I will always be upset about Jason. He had his life taken from him. He didn’t even remember his name!! Percy got to remember his name, and Annabeth, but Jason woke up on that bus and didn’t even get to know who he was?? GODDDDD sorry. I love Jason Grace. Loved Apollo too, he was funny, being miserable. Love when book characters are miserable!!
