My opinion I thought the book was an amazing addition to the series. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! It was a little romantic between Percy and annabeth, they kissed! Which I gasped out loud when read that! Percy is becoming a strong and faithful demigod, and I think is not going to ruin the prophecy! Waiting to read the last book!
