I am quite literally speechless. I’ve been putting this series off for years, but I’m finally reading it, and I’m so glad I decided to. I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about this series, and I already know I’m going to love this series. However, I do have Greek Mythology research to do now 🫡. I loved Annabeth. When I found out that her mom was Athena, I think I squealed for about ten minutes. If I would’ve read this a few years ago, I genuinely think I wouldn’t have liked it, so I’m glad I’m reading it now. Overall, I give it 4.75/5 stars, and I definitely recommend it. It wasn’t a complete 5 stars because of a few things that confused me, but I still loved it.
