Jason took me by the shoulders - not out of anger, a a clinging way, but as a brother. 'Promise me one they Whatever happens, when you get back to Olympus, when you're a god again, remember. Remember what it's like to be human.'
Reading this reminded of my childhood. Ah, the good old days. I'm only 18 but whatever, I can be dramatic.
Anyway, I loved the book. It was everything I expected when I picked it up. Rick Riordan's books always made me laugh out loud and this one was not an exception. I loved seeing Jason, Grover and Piper in this book. I think their characters were consistent. Once again we follow Apollo or Lester as he discovers what it means to be human, which makes us humans appreciate it more. Does that make sense? Both Meg and Apollo face their pasts and I loved getting to know more about them. Also, we get to see Piper trying to make sense of everything, and I honestly relate to that.
I don't know what else to say. It's Rick Riordan, I think that summarises this book pretty well.
