    I liked it! I kind of lessen my expectations as an adult with those kind of books. I go in knowing that I’m an adult now and that those books are not aimed or written to my demographic, so I more or less just turn my brain off/suspend my disbelief. Some of the stuff honestly did not age well in Sea of Monsters specifically though.

      Maybe my expectations were too high after just finishing Thistlefoot… haha.

      Definitely agree that some stuff did not age well at all.

        It honestly made me so sad listening to it and hearing how ableist some of it was. I understand what some of Ricks intentions were, but they do not hold up well.

        And yeah. I’m glad you loved Thistlefoot! I love introducing it to other people. I’m planning on getting a hardcover copy someday to have on hand since it was just such an impactful read for me. :)
