Review: Our darling heroes return! Percy is back for a second time around, breaking the rules, being hilarious, and generally running a muck around the US of A to save the day. I don't know why, but it works. Like the first book, the only downfall I see with this book is the fact this is a bunch of kids running around doing things that even some adults struggle to comprehend - but I have finally got over that fact and really enjoyed reading this! Percy definitely has the potential to be very annoying but there is enough humour and humanity in him to keep him bearable, even likeable. Annabeth was verging on bratty at parts, but she is a 13 year old so that can be totally forgiven. My favourite character was, by far, Tyson. What a truly adorable cyclops! The way he was wrote was endearing and at times I couldn't help but want my own Tyson! He was innocent, and quite frankly very slow, but he had a brilliant personality and that came through. Plotwise, brilliant, as I have come to expect from this series in such a short period of time. It had enough twists to keep it interesting and definitely left me wanting to read on and on. I especially enjoyed the whole sheep thing, but that may be from the time I spent in Wales... One thing that annoyed me, looking back at the plot, was Riordans excuse as to why Annabeth didn't like Tyson. It was so stupid and unbelievable, and that comes from someone who just read a book about a bunch of demi-gods. Writing wise, some really, really funny moments where I couldn't help but burst out laughing, but also some serious moments that made me a bit weepy. My opinions of the Gods from the first book stay the same. I have no love for any of then, no matter how many times we get someone to explain their reasoning. I feel like they could turn into golden parents and I still wouldn't be able to like them, not after everything they have done. Definitely a YA book that I would recommend to anyone. An enjoyable, smart read that promises so much more to come!

Review: Another entertaining and well written instalment in the Percy Jackson series, although I wasn't quite as impressed as I was with the first novel. Some aspects of this were absolutely fantastic, and I absolutely fell in love with the character of Tyson who is definitely an interesting take on a step-sibling. The action moves along at quite a clip and the characters are well defined and developed. Somehow it didn't quite have the sparkle that I got from the first book, but it's still a strong sequel and I am looking forward to seeing where this goes in the future.
