Curious, thrilling, and adventurous are exactly the right words to use when describing my feelings toward this book. The book made me feel Curious at some points because I had no idea what would happen next. I was curious to know if the crew would make it or be stopped somehow and the quest would end. Anxiety fit this book well because you just wanted to know what would happen next. For example when the book ends they leave Annabeth and Percy falling to the pit of Tartarus. Adventures this book was a whole example of adventures. From the crew just trying to visit the Romans in peace, but Leo (accidentally) firing the ballistae at them. Then starting a whole war was quite an adventure already.
