Reviews with content warning for Body horror - Percy Jackson og uhyrernes hav

Book 2 really hit the gas and never let up...and I wish it had. The pacing was so fast I felt like I couldn't breathe but I wanted to know just a little more, to sit in the moments of tension and sadness for just a little longer.

I did enjoy the scenes with Tyson, Annabeth was awesome as usual and the places they went were great.

I absolutely hated the way Circe was handled and felt Grover's parts were very redundant and I wished we got more with him before he was captured. I also though Clarissa had her moments but overall she didn't get much page time either. Again the pacing was too fast to allow any real development. I didn't enjoy Luke's scenes either, they just felt kind of bland and he wasn't nearly as intimidating as he was at the end of book 1.

Overall I am excited for the next book, but this one felt like a novella more than a full novel and it just didn't hit like I wanted it too.

The last 100 pages was so engaging! I loved how it focused more on other character relationships.

HOWEVER,

this series just had a reprint and you are telling me no one could edit out the micro-aggressions and ableist language and lines

ALSO WHY ARE THE CONFEDERATES IN THIS. BOOK WHAT WAS RICK ON

There is no reason to still have the r word in a book, especially with so many people reading the series, since the show has premiered

I love where this series is going but I’m very disappointed with how it portrays disability so far and acknowledge the problematic aspects, which is why I am reading through the library

The first book was definitely better and the overall plot of this book was just ok but I loved the new characters tyson genuine might be my favourite character and that ending, plus just more character development for existing characters from a character perspective it was very good.
