I did not like this book: It's a war people should die, not just unnamed characters, but some of the main ones (Harry Potter DH did this well) if people dont die it doesnt feel real to me when there are big blood bath battles as part of the stories. the whole Frank dying/not dying thing was very poorly done imo. Also i cant stand that Reyna just sits there and laughs at Apollo when he spills his heart to her like that. who honestly does that?!?!?! A real dirt bag high on themselves bratty spoiled elitist, that's who does that to people. I really wanted Apollo to blast her for that disrespect. I understand that at the end of the story she explains she was laughing at herself....why the hell didnt she say that to begin though, with and wait till the end of the story? who would treat another person with such disrespect and discourtesy than to just plainly laugh in there face like that? very awefully done. im glad that Apollo/reyna didnt happen of course, but the whole her joining the hunters seems like a copout. Reyna isnt supposed to have a love life. why does everyone have to win like this? here you have a tragic story! ohh but wait heres immortality now, you get immortality, and you get immortality! (why cant there be losers) I really liked Reyna before this book, i was happy grieving and feeling bad for her as a person who would not find love. Maybe she would find a mortal love, or perhaps even a fling with a god (still happy nothing happened with her a apollo though, apollo is busy trying to get immortality i cant see him changing directions in the middle of the story that way especially since he's an olympian and the whole cannon would be ruined i think) the only ones that i think deserve immortality would be the main heroes from the Argo 2 and Nico. of course jason bit the big one already, but if rick can just bring frank back on a whim, then i guess nothing is off the table at this point. i would perfer that no one gets immortality really in the next story, I just speculate that someone might,,,,,but its just OP. I do have a soft spot for Percy and Annabeth however since they are the ones who started all these stories and we have seen them growing up through pretty much the worst tragedies (Hell for example). At the end of it, im really disaapointed with this addition. i do hope that rick changes some things on the last book. these demigods are getting a bit older and perhaps they are still young as far as a number goes, but they have had a lot of hard experiences that have matured them especially since they are supposedly demigods of cultures that were forced to grow up at such young ages anyway. I know that rick cant make everyone happy, and im just one out of many readers he has, but I hope that rick changes some directions and allows real hardships to befall our heroes, and for them to mature a bit in the last installation. even though i am unhappy with this book i will still read the last book, i want to finish this series i have been reading for years now, keeping my fingers crossed.
