˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚ ❝ I told Tantalus to go chase a doughnut. ❞

4.5 ☆ (I changed my mind; I'm rounding it up to five stars lol.)

I've been having so much fun getting re-obsessed with Percy Jackson! I read it so long ago, it's almost like reading it for the first time again. There's just something so comforting about this series, something you only find in special books like Harry Potter 🥺. No matter how many other books I read, I will always come back to this one. It never gets old.

Percabeth:

˚˖𓍢ִ✧˚ ❝ I'm glad you're not a guinea pig. ❞

↬ Quite literally my favorite ship of all time. Percabeth was one of the first ships my twelve-year-old self actually got invested in. They are just so perfect and adorable and precious and innocent omg. In The Lighting Thief, Percy and Annabeth are still pretty young so they're more like little besties with crushes. But now that they're getting older, we get some real moments like a hug or a kiss on the cheek 💙. I could rant forever about how much I love them honestly. My babies.

(the) Characters:

↬ Percy: Persassy, Seaweed Brain... Percy has the best nicknames lol. I think he might have been my first fictional crush. He is so cute and sweet (but also super sassy and unserious ofc); Annabeth is a lucky girl lol. Also, his obsession with blue food! I love that.

↬ Annabeth: The Wise Girl always slays so hard! She's probably my favorite half-blood. I love how Riordan made her blonde to shoot down the 'dumb blood' stereo type, because she is a genius. Even Percy admits it hehe.

↬ Grover: I missed Grover is this one! He was always my least favorite of the trio, but I think the show made me like him more. I'm looking forward to seeing in more in The Titans Curse.

↬ Luke: We don't talk about Luke no, no, no, nooooo...

(the) Plot:

↬ Ok but Grover in his wedding dress made me laugh so hard, I forgot about how funny this book is. Also the guinea pig incident... poor Percy. Honestly idk how Uncle Rick comes up with this stuff XD. The story line slayed obvi, never a dull moment with the halfbloods! AND THE ENDING AHHHH. Ik I've read Percy Jackson before, but I still gasped.

Conclusion:

↬ This book is amazing in every way possible; each aspect was perfect! I CAN'T WAIT TO KEEP REREADING THIS SERIES! I remember The Battle of the Labyrinth being my fav, so I'm super excited to get to that one! If you haven't read this series, PLEASE DO so we can fangirl together 🤭 tysm for reading this review, I tried to make it shorter this time lol.
