This is still as good as i remember it! I love the trio, but Percy is still my favorite!
Clarisse and Ares are as annoying as i remember them. I adores the scene with Cebreus, so cute!

Me gustó mucho❤️ son esos libros ligeros, que se leen en una sentada, además Percy y Annabeth son de lo mejor.

Everyone... and I mean EVERYONE has been telling me to read Percy Jackson from friends back in school to readers I met they have all been saying "I can't believe you haven't read it yet!"

And yes, I haven't read Percy Jackson yet. It's 2018 and it still hasn't happened and it was published back in 2005. I was gonna be like "Another year will pass when I still haven't read it" but yesterday I just picked the book up and told myself "You better freaking read it because you'll never hear the end of

The first time I read this I was like 12, so when I joined Goodreads I rated it three stars because I didn't remember much, just that I had liked it.

I liked it a lot this time around too, although I didn't totally love it. It was fast-paced and fun. I loved Percy, I liked Annabeth...I don't know about Grover though XD Also, now I can see how different the movie is from the book, the ending was nothing like this?

But yeah, this deserves at least four stars now. Onto the next one!

This was exactly as cozy a read as I thought it would be. I do think Percy should be at least a few years older for all the events to be believable (yes, even for a fantasy with ancient Greek gods).. But lucky for me, it's a book and I have an imagination so I just made him older. Voila.

This easy-to-read adventure ride is the perfect thing to occupy my mind while the world is weird and chaotic, and I have already jumped straight into Sea of Monsters. Great fun!
