My feelings on this book, the second in the Percy Jackson series, are a little bit mixed. I didn’t enjoy it as much as I did the first book in the series and did find myself looking at the page number far more often than I would have liked.
I did like the introduction of Tyson. He was such a sweet likeable character and I did find myself tearing up as the relationship between Tyson and Percy developed throughout the book. I do hope that Tyson will pop up again in the future books in the series. I also very much liked the hippocampus and thought Tyson and Rainbow were nice together.
I missed Grover though. I missed the relationship between him and Percy. I suppose the reason Tyson was introduced was to sort of cover that gap but it wasn’t quite the same. However, I did like how Percy fought the rescue his friend.
The storyline with Luke is building up with I liked. That is obviously something which is going to climax in the last book. He is such a good villain. I did like the scene between Percy and Luke’s father because that seemed to say a lot about families in general and not just the unusual families (being the children of gods) in the books.
The ending was interesting with the cliffhanger of Thalia and her return. I think it was a little bit obvious that it was going to happen given the powers of the fleece was mentioned a lot but I am interested to see what happens now she is back. Especially how it changes the prophecy.
