Oh man, this one ends on quite the cliffhanger! I had forgotten about that. I would immediately pick up the next one, but I have some review books I have to finish first. I better get on it so I can see what happens next!

I still think this gets a little on the long side, probably partly because of Riordan's popularity at this point. But also, there is a lot going on for this particular prophecy and story! Like, there are two more books left, but there are so many things to wrap up! Particularly because there are so many more characters going on the quest in this one. Seven is quite honestly a lot, even if they don't all have POV chapters in every book.

Can't wait to see what happens next (because I definitely don't remember!).
