Like the other Percy Jackson books, I find myself drawn to the story, the use of mythology, and the characters. Percy’s voice is especially strong, and, now that I have read three of the books in the series, I can see significant character growth in him. Riordan doesn’t have Percy change over night – he grows as a young adult gradually, and with setbacks, like a real person. He is still flawed, but less so than he was at the start of the series. This is one of those books that you breeze through without even realizing it, and wish that it wouldn’t end.
