this book was SO. INCREDIBLY. STRESSFUL. the strain in percy and annabeth’s relationship affected me much more than i remember it. This book, along with the Titan’s Curse, really shows the reader that percy and annabeth need eachother. it’s like grey’s anatomy; they are each others person. and while rachel isnt a bad person and her storyline is important in the grand scheme of things, she still bugs the crap out of me
