Thank you!

My library checkout is expiring soon, so I'll probably start this tomorrow.

[Nirkatze]

Starting! Chapter 1--(view spoiler)[Annabeth! First time we get an Annabeth Chapter! I love Annabeth.

Some ominous things--feeling of snow in the air--Khione? I don't think we've seen the last of her.

And Annabeth getting the "worst present ever" from her mom... (hide spoiler)]

[Nirkatze]

Up through Chapter 17--(view spoiler)[I love seeing our two groups from books 1 and 2 together and bonding. Though I'm a bit bummed that Leo's ribbing of Frank... I'm not a fan of forced love-triangles in general. (hide spoiler)]

[Nirkatze]

Through Chapter 28--(view spoiler)[I'm glad that Leo & Frank had a good talk, and that Leo isn't trying to pursue a love triangle... the most awkward part is over, whew!

Still enjoying all of the Roman & Greek cameos. Aphrodite as a Southern Belle was something. I feel bad for the river god... Heracles does not have a reputation as a good person... (hide spoiler)]

[Monika]

Will catch up as soon as I can:)

[Nirkatze]

See you here when you get here!

[Nirkatze]

Finished! (view spoiler)[I remembered that this ended on an almost literal cliffhanger. ^^ Cliff-dropper? If it weren't Annabeth & Percy I'd be worried.

I rather liked the Arachne trap! I totally forgot about that. (hide spoiler)]

[Monika]

I'll start it tomorrow.

[Monika]

Start it :)

[Nirkatze]

Yay!

Page 360 so far... Xmas preps, so not enough time for reading:)

[Nirkatze]

"not enough time for reading" but you're already on p360! Very impressive!

Hope your preps go well!

[Monika]

I was planning to finish reading in two days 😁. It's 3-4 days already... Working till midnight so need extra sleep no reading...

[Nirkatze]

I hear you... sleep trumps reading when working late...

[Monika]

Trying my best to reach my yearly target of 200 books 😁.

[Nirkatze]

You can do it!

[Monika]

Hope so, 8 left 😁

[Monika]

Book finished ☺️

[Nirkatze]

One down, seven to go! What did you think?

[Monika]

Good one. Curious what next is waiting for them all :)

[Nirkatze]

Definitely the most cliff-hangery so far!

[Monika]

Agree!
