I was very surprised when Percy DECLINED the offer of being a god. After being the hero of Olympus, Zeus offered Percy to become a god, which he refused. Zeus offers on page 351, "...Perseus Jackson—If you wish it—you shall be made a god." to which Percy declines on the next page, "No...I've got a lot of life left to live. I'd hate to peak in my sophomore year." It's hard to believe someone could give that chance up.

I found it both surprising and hilarious that a bunch of centaurs show up on the middle of a battlefield. On page 259, just when the Half-Bloods think they're surrounded, Chiron and an "entire cavalry" join the battle. Percy narrates that "A new blast of horns shattered the night. The air shimmered. In a blur of movement, an entire cavalry appeared as if dropping out of light speed." Riordan somehow made war funny.

I was surprised the Percy could TALK to the East and Hudson river. He convinces the rivers themselves to sink Kronos' ships heading towards Manhattan by cleaning them. He succeeds on page 180 when their conversations ends: " "Um, the invaders?" I prompted. The East flicked his hand. "They just got sunk." Hudson snapped his fingers. "Bunch of hellhounds just took a dive." " The river's personalities are crazy.

I was surprised that the tension in the camp left Percy and Annabeth on bad terms. Camp Half-Blood was the definition of chaos as the war with Kronos was on the horizon. After being told about his prophecy of his own soul being reaped, the couple get into an arguement about it. On page 75, Percy begins to say " "How?" I said. "Look at our camp. We can't even stop fighting each other." " What words can do to people.
