Is it true to the books? Almost , they wanted 8 episodes but they don't understand that the series with a few episodes are 1 hour each per episode not 30 menuts ( without the intro and the names in the end) so we missed a lot , they changed many stuff and didn't bring much back except of the whole Sally and poseidon scene which I enjoyed the rest clips of the past where very much unecessary since percy shouldn't know much of Greek mythology ( cause annabeth was the smart one and was teaching him everything) also they didn't know most of the troubles they where getting into like they show showed us , they cut a lot if not all fighting scenes which is a negative also , the character development was not existing since they knew everything and they were in prety good terms from the very beginning so that felt flat , and the acting was not very much alive I expected more and even if it's hard to make it exactly as the books many scenes that they cut off where not difficult they cut them off because of the time limit , I hope the next season is better.
