The Battle of the Labyrinth

I honestly barely enjoyed this one. It had good moments and lines, but also some really bad ones. I don't like the rules of the world as Rick has set them up. Like the cabins but also the whole counsel thing. Many people are incredibly unlikeable and/or unreasonable with no other motivations than being a dick. Side characters are often very two-dimensional in that way.  

I also didn't like any of the stuff between Rachel, Percy and Annabeth. It's such a cliche and not even a good one. Or the whole thing between Luke, Annabeth and Percy honestly. I could have screamed “just fucking talk” to my good like 10 times. I am glad this series is almost over because I am fucking done with it. 

The boy continues to love this series. He laughs regularly throughout the story and is always anxious to start the next one. 

Recognizing I am not the demographic for this series, I would say this was a fun read, but ultimately I found it not memorable and probably wouldn't read it again. That said, I have gone back to read books I enjoyed at earlier ages and found that they weren't as good as I remembered them.
