I have lost track of how many times I have read this series in my life, but it is such an amazing series. I gave it 4.25 stars and it is not my fav book but its not the worst book in the series. I definitely prefer the books to the films as the films missed out soo many moments (such as the golden trio seeing Neville at St Mungo's as he was visiting his parents with his grandmother). I highly recommend that everyone reads these books as they are such an easy and fun read.

This is my second fav book in this series, it is amazing but also heartbreaking. I love how we got a new FMC in this book that we were introduced to in the last book, and I love how we got a new group of girls in this book even if they do not really appear in the next books much. Thalia is amazing and I adore her, she does not give a damn about anything apart from Zoe Nightshade who is the bane of existence till the end of the book. I gave this book 5 stars for too many reasons to list, everyone needs to read this series.

Quotes:
- “Let us find the dam snack bar," Zoe said. "We should eat while we can." Grover cracked a smile. "The dam snack bar?" Zoe blinked. "Yes. What is funny?" "Nothing," Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. "I could use some dam french fries." Even Thalia smiled at that. "And I need to use the dam restroom."... I started cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at me. "I do not understand." "I want to use the dam water fountain," Grover said. "And..." Thalia tried to catch her breath. "I want to buy a dam t-shirt.”
- “Wow," Thalia muttered. "Apollo is hot." "He's the sun god," I said. "That's not what I meant.”
