What's not to like? Everything.
It was too long and repetitious, one encounter with the baddies after another. The last couple of chapters of wrap-up were especially tedious.
It was too violent; the fact that it was fantasy-type violence didn't mitigate that.
The main characters were stereotypes.
The identify of the betrayer was obvious.
The audience for this is who? People who know Greek mythology or preteens--I doubt there's a lot of overlap between the two groups.
It shows human as some kind of inferior species manipulated by unknown magical beings who are hiding in plain sight--a trope I find especially annoying.
It was boring. Which is the cardinal, unforgivable sin.
Only thing I can say in its favor is that it made last month's book look good.
