SPOILERS AVERT YOUR EYES ARGHHH!

I stayed up until 5:00 am last night reading this book, and Ill have to say I am not disappointed at all.

Rick is finally doing a better job of developing the characters, finally Frank and Hazel aren't completely useless anymore, because lets admit it, Frank was lame af before he had this whole mars/ares blessing thing, even with him being able to turn into a dragon.

Rick is making the characters bond now, they aren't as wary of each other, I mean, Frank and Leo are pretty much bros now, and Hazel and Piper are bffs forever. I  hope they can work in unison like they did with Clytius in BoO because they seriously destroyed.

What I didnt like about the book though is the same thing i didnt like about MoA, These big, scary, ancient monsters are attacking the demigods and they fend them off in like eight minutes, not even by fighting most of them time, im tired of them "outwitting" the opponent, like Nyx, she was big and bad and so scary and Annabeth bbeat her by saying she wasnt gonna put her in her "scrapbook" How does Nyx even know what a scrapbook is! she has been at the edge of darkness for eons! RIck is trying too hard to add comic releif since this book is so intense, but it backfires.

FINAL DISLIKE: IF RICK USES THE LINE "THE PLAN WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, BUT IT HAD TO WORK" OR ANY VARIATION OF THAT BEFORE A DEMIGOD FACES A CHALLENGE I WILL EXPLODE INTO 432848290 PIECES.

SORRY FOR MY REVIEW BEING ALL OVER THE PLACE I AM STILL HYPED FROM FINISHING THE BOOK
