The Sword of Summer

This book goes back to the first person narrative style of the Percy Jackson books. It was a pretty quick read and I enjoyed the story and the characters. Definitely looking forward to the next book in the series (and again, frustrated by the whole “read the book within a short period of time after it is published and you have to wait that much longer” element in play with new books). Luckily, there isn't a dreadful cliffhanger here, but more an element of anticipation that will hold me for the next year.
