My Thoughts (SPOILERS):

I was really excited for this book and I loved almost every moment of it, especially the Tartarus scenes and the sacrifices of Bob, Small Bob, and Damasen. Nico's homosexuality was a bit surprising but I connected the pieces after Favicon was introduced. Frank's POV was really really really really boring, Arachne's death was a disappointment. The gods and villains sucked! Skyron was a huge fail of a villain and once again Hecate interfered. Does she not follow the rules? Calypso was Piper 2 in this book, always whining. She can stay in that island for all I care. Jason is...um just Jason. Percy and Annabeth and Tartarus were really awesome except Nyx was stupid and pointless. Tartarus was less hellish than I expected. Piper was mostly in the shadows thank god, but I did like how she decided to be useful and wield a weapon. Leo was awesome and Hazel totally wins Olympian status after her role in that book. Frank annoyed me still. I mean, why not kill hundreds of HARMLESS monsters just to earn a stupid blessing of Mars. The scene between Reyna, Rachel, and Grover was pure epicness. I LOVED the mention of many characters and events in past books. Overall, a good read with a lot of humor and action, but I'd read it three or four times in a row. 8.8/10
