Glossary!
Before Percy drinks the Grogon's blood that helps him regain his memory, he calls Grover a Satyr, instead of a faun
**This is not an error. Percy is Greek, which is why he calls things by their Greek names instead of their Roman names.
When they kill Alcyoneus, there was no god that helped them, even though a giant can only be killed by a combination of god and demigod
Chapter XIX is spelt 'Hezel' but 'Hazel' in the table of contents.
Preceded by The Lost Hero, and followed by The Mark of Athena.
Action scenes and minor violence. With some kissing and use of fowl language
