The Titan's Curse

The Titan's Curse follows the same tired formula as the first two books, but with a dash of attempted girl power thrown in. While I appreciate the effort, I think Riordan totally screwed up the message I assume he was trying to convey (strong, independent female characters who don't need men). It came across very much like feminism is good but ladies must remember that it's #notallmen. A female character literally says not all men like she's learned the error of her ways. It really rubbed me the wrong way.
