After this, There's a few loose books in the universe, and the start of a new Percy series, then there's the whole Rick Riordan Presents if we want to keep some of this genre going.

I started this one today. It's always nice to be far enough in the series to see familiar faces and recognize who they are.

Chapters 2-6: (view spoiler)[ I love the arrow and how it uses the internet to look up information but just pretends that it isn't. I also enjoyed how they have the strawberry vines and tomato plants as a defense system in the labyrinth. (hide spoiler)]

Started yesterday. Until chapter 6 so far.

Finished. I am curious to see how you feel about where the story is headed.

(view spoiler)[ Meg is sure learning a lot about herself and so is Apollo. It was sad for Jason to die but I feel like we knew that was going to happen. It's interesting how the boyfriends seem to keep dying and the women live on. (hide spoiler)]

Finished. Solid one. What will happen next? Agree with you Rachel (spoiler bit)- very interesting.

Running about a week late so it'll probably be next weekend before I get to this. Looking forward to it though!

Well, I totally forgot to come back two months ago and comment... I enjoyed this one more than the previous, I think... damn but it's hard to remember... (view spoiler)[even with Jason dying... it was kind of a good twist, tragic as it was. Riordan hadn't really killed off any of his core POVs in any of his previous books. (hide spoiler)]
