The first book of the series I really don't remember anything about other than it being about a labyrinth. And man. This is easily the best of the series yet, so many great moments that just scream adventure, maybe the most variety we've had, and although it is for 14 year olds, some pretty graphic moments, like Daedalus being a prisoner and being inferred to getting tortured, and also Daedalus almost bleeding to his death. Not much came back to refresh my memory though, other than Pan, and the ending where Poseidon shows up in a reign of jealousy. I cannot wait to read The Last Olympian, which I cannot even remember anything at all that happens.

The Hobbit is definitely better. The Frodo and Sam stuff is great, everything else is kind of mediocre. I feel the same about the movie, but there's much more Frodo and Sam in the movie. But, there is enough in here for me to enjoy most of it. I'm kind of scared to read Two Towers, because I expect there to be even less Frodo.

THE best of the entire Percy Jackson saga yet. Incredible from start to finish. Can't wait to re read house of hades, which absolutely floored me reading at 12 years old

So uh, ends with a reveal of Charlie Chaplin being Norma's father? Uh, cool! Very weird book. Very good book. It's probably the most interesting book I've read yet. But, I do feel like the book loses what it's going for somewhat the last 200 pages or so.

I wasn't convinced how good this was until those last few chapters... god damn. RIP Cormac McCarthy.
