I've read this book the most of the PJATO series and just books in general throughout my lifetime, and it still doesn't let me down. Zoë still makes me emotional. Annabeth leaves me screaming. Grover is always my emotionally hysterical comedic relief. Thalia makes my spine straighten, and Percy is my pure bean that deserves everything.
Last time I read this I was 12 going on 13, driving to a new life in a new state. It helped me then as it helps me now in quarantine. Rick Riordan is incredible.
