I enjoyed the second installment of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, but I preferred the first one overall. I enjoyed seeing all of the characters' personalities and features emerge during the book. The plot was enjoyable and intriguing, although I did find it difficult at times to keep track of all the numerous plot points that occurred during the novel. I enjoyed reading this book and learning more about the people and the universe, and I'm looking forward to seeing where the general universe plot goes from here.

3.0

Not much I can add that others haven't said. It was a book I liked as a stand alone but as I am re reading the series I remembered this one is my least favorite of the five. So, its ok. Does it do a ton to move the story forward? No. But there are a few key things that could have been added to the next book or the first one and this one didn't need to exist.
