so-soI read the majority of this book in the bath with a Poseidon candle that smelt of sea, salt, and shipwrecks. It felt fitting.
This was a filler book. Not terrible, not great, moved the plot along and positioned the characters.

I did end up choosing The House of Hades for the Jan/Feb decision. It‘s just so good, I can‘t not choose it! #readingbracket2025
I've caught up! I'm about half way through this and enjoying it so far. I like some characters way more than others. Jason is still boring. Riordan is still weird about Aphrodite and femininity.

April we'll be reading The House of Hades. Hopefully more Nico 🤣

pickI enjoyed this a lot more than the first one. I found the trio much more compelling and the storyline interesting.
There are still some issues. It got repetitive, Riordan has some weird issues around femininity, and there were some racist and fatphobic comments.

repost for @PuddleJumper:
It's book 3 of the Heroes of Olympus series for #RiordanverseReadalong
I am a little behind, haven't started book 2 but hoping to get both of these done in March

I've created a bookclub on SG to keep things organized if anyone wants to join - https://app.thestorygraph.com/book_clubs/158fd0c1-ae91-45ee-b40c-6ab2f39d101f
I just want to see which books rate highly
I'm excited to get back into this universe and I'm hoping for more Percy 😅
Did I cry? Yes. Did I love it? Also yes! I finished this book yesterday, and it was AMAZING! Here‘s my fill out of wanderinglynn‘s Off My Shelf. I‘ll be using this for any book I read this year that matches one of these. The three books I have so far are The House of Hades and The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan and Escaping Peril: The Graphic Novel by Tui T. Sutherland. I apologize for the tilted picture.
Not sure who is following #RiordanverseReadalong but I figured I‘d do a check in/final thoughts post
How did you enjoy or not enjoy the book? Any favourite characters or moments?
Anybody can join in!
The next book we‘ll be reading will be The Son of Neptune in February
I was a bit underwhelmed. I found the characters a bit bland and there wasn‘t any connection between them. Hoping this changes! Percy is just so hard to follow
