Notes: High on high-seas hijinks, it's a trial tonal trade-in, shifting style more juvenile, less legend, lore and landmark-laden.

✅ Reread (July 2024) It's been yearsss and the cliffhanger still hits 🤌🤌~•~•~ Original review- Sea of Monsters is the most underrated book of the PJO series. I realise there are many iconic moments from this one. This is the book when you really start to ship Percabeth. The slow burn *chef's kiss*. The way Percy held Annabeth when they encountered the sirens🥺This book gives you a really good cliffhanger which just makes you want to pick up the next book immediately. The scene with "Nobody" =...

”We did all the standard numbers: ‘Down by the Aegean´, ´I Am My Own Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandpa´, ´This Land is Mino’s Land´. The bonfire was enchanted, so the louder you sang, the higher it rose, changing colour and heat with the mood of the crowd.”Sounds like a really nice night at Camp Halfblood, right? I mean who wouldn’t want to sing “This Land is Mino’s Land”? (On a side-note: Uncle Rick if you read this, can I please have the lyrics for those songs? *lol* I’d love to read them!!!) Un...

Notes: It finds emotion and character in shame and open wounds; set beyond humanity’s shores, adrift in primeval bedlam.

I enjoyed this so much! Though I will admit that I didn't enjoy it as much as book one. Percy is such a fun narrator and I'm excited to continue following his journey.

Ahh so good! Rick does it again!

Another 5* from Celyn. I read this book to her out of order, having read book 1 then book 3 before it. I hate it when people do that, but the books are pretty stand-alone and we picked the wrong one when leaving the house in a hurry.Actually I can now better appreciate the cross-book story and it's quite clever, so that's good.This volume continues the mix of Greek myth, modern America, and teenagers. Percy battles through various monsters in bloodless battles where the beasties turn to mist on ...

I need to take Tyson, wrap a blanket around him, give him a stuffed Rainbow and protect him from everything.

Tyson 4Ever. Some time after the events of The Lighting Thief, Camp Half Blood protection spells starts waning to the point of almost breaking apart completely, leaving its borders wide open and unprotected from monster attacks. Upon the impending destruction of the only haven left for demigods, Percy, Annabeth, Tyson and Clarisse embark on a desperate quest to find the Golden Fleece, the only sacred relic capable of healing Thalia’s Tree and restore its defensive powers. On a separate plane, ...

A guy in Greek armor drew his sword and charged, but slipped in a puddle of pina colada. Really, who can not love a book with lines like that? I actually had the urge take this book in my hand with a strong grip and whirl it towards my head for waiting so long to read this series. I just kept putting it off for some reason or other. Luckily I came to my senses.For the most part things have been pretty quiet this school year and Percy even makes a new friend named Tyson, a giant of a kid. Well, ...
