-Leo is awesome, as I've probably stated at least ten times already. I liked Piper a whole lot more by the end (when she stopped being all wah, why doesn't Jason remember meeeee and our epic love? and actually GOT A BACKBONE). And Jason... ehh. Jury's still out on him. He's kind of one-dimensional, and this is probably because we don't get that first-person narration that fleshed out Percy so well.
-I kind of suspected there was going to be a Roman demigod camp as soon as they started emphasizing Jason's ~purple shirt~, so the end didn't surprise me, and thanks to my impatient page-flipping, neither did the reveal about Percy's whereabouts.
-WHERE THE FUCK IS NICO? my RAEG, let me show you it! (and I really don't like that he was mentioned only ONCE in passing. Bitch, please!)
-THALIA. I am sooo glad she was back in a bigger role in this book, considering she got seriously shafted in TLO. But I am a little surprised that even Annabeth didn't know about Jason; I would've thought that was something Thalia would mention, y'know?
-I kind of ship Leo/Thalia. A little. Which makes me feel like I'm betraying the Luke/Thalia ship, oh agony!
-As suggested below, I think the Roman camp should be known as Camp Bizarro. Yep.
So did I like this book? A lot, yeah. And dammit, I want the second, not another Kane Chronicles book (which, let's be honest, I'm not even sure I want to read...).
