with a limited cast of characters, aka so many prominent figures in greek mythology, its odd to see some of the same characters you saw as enemies again as allies. like i said very big level real life challenges being shown in what started as a fun cool kids series. (pt. 2)

this story feels kinda crazy because it is such a deeper topic to take on - the idea that some monsters dont want to be, and that you cannot judge individuals because of innate characteristics they cant control. its almost weirdly deep for a kids book. and is especially odd when percy jackson started as a retelling of classic hero vs monster stories. (pt. 1)

the title of the book does make the few moments of “court? what court?” a bit less mysterious
