When Thalia’s tree is mysteriously poisoned, the magical borders of Camp Half-Blood begin to fail. Now Percy and his friends have just days to find the only magic item powerful to save the camp before it is overrun by monsters. The catch: they must sail into the Sea of Monsters to find it. Along the way, Percy must stage a daring rescue operation to save his old friend Grover, and he learns a terrible secret about his own family, which makes him question whether being the son of Poseidon is an honor or a curse.

The second book from the Percy Jackson series was pretty good too. I feel kinda bad I didn't read it sooner like I read the first book over a year ago and only the 2nd just now? When will I be able to finish this series then start the Last Olympian??? Anyways, I am pretty satisfied with the ending and everything. I'd say Percy can be a jerk and s fool sometimes but he has a good heart, I like it. I find it cool that Rick Riordan made all the half-bloods ADHD and dyslexic like there are not many (if at all) fantasy books with neurodivergent characters as heroes. I also like that even though they are all ADHD they're not the same and are very diverse. I knew that thing, in the end, is gonna happen and I'm excited! I loved Tyson's character and that Percy has Spoilera half-brother now, that is very cool, and Tyson is soo adorable! I also really like Annabeth and her wisdom even though she can sometimes be unwise, which is good. 1-dimensional characters are boring anyway. I can see why Rick Riordan has soo many fans, I mean who doesn't like mythology??? I sure do, especially if they're kinda like me, lol. I mean if I was a half-blood who's kid would I be? Anyways I recommend it for fans of the first PJ book and those who read only The Last Olympian books and those who want to start a new book series but aren't so sure which one. It has it all!
Still super late to this amazing party. These are so gooood!
The Lightning Thief review
5/5 stars “Families are messy. Immortal families are eternally messy. Sometimes the best we can do is to remind each other that we're related for better or for worse...and try to keep the maiming and killing to a minimum.”
So I guess now it's the Sea of Monster's turn to be reviewed, but I don't have much to say about it. I enjoyed this book, yes, perhaps even more than when I was a young girl, but it's probably my least favorite Rick book. I don't care for many of the introduced characters. The storyline was okay, but not as action packed as the Lighting Thief. Yet, because it's Rick Riordan, it doesn't deserve anything less than 5 stars.
Quick read, just like there first book. Content is somewhat better, and the ending was surprising!
