Rick Riordan likes to make his own writing style. He Doesn’t have chapters like other books, he just has different views of the story from 3 different people. He does this in all of his books in this series and other series. except it’s with different people.

“You dare take me on a sleigh ride?” he tensed and sniffed the air. “ that smell...like snuffed-out souls. Thanatos is free, eh? Bah! it doesn't matter. Gaea still controls the doors of death.” (page-466)

Ever since i read the first book in 7th grade i've been hooked on them. The way he writes, i love it. I’ve read every single book that he has out so far. They are just wonderful. He made me really like greek mythology. It’s one of my favorite subjects. i know a lot about it just by reading his books. he doesn't just write about greek mythology he also writes egyptian mythology. i also read those books.

If you really like these kinds of books than i would advise you read them, but if you don't i wouldn't advise you to read it. I’m rating this book 3 paws which is pursue it.
