To tell you the truth, I think I wasn't paying much attention when I read this (or it might have been because I read this a few days after surgery and was too...well, not with it, to remember), because I don't have much of a recollection of the story. I remember Grover finding two new half-bloods with undetermined parentage, then Percy and crew head off across the country on another quest. I also think this was one of the weaker plotted books in the series, thus far. But still fun.
