My son reallly loved the entire series of books. much better to see him up late reading than on the computer or X box.
The tale of the labyrinth was also worked in as well.In this book we get to see the conflict between Percy and Nico as he tries to get him to stand on their side, and his growing feelings for Annabeth. It's non-stop wham wham wham one after another and I just ripped through this book in almost one sitting.Ah, I loved this book. If I thought the last book was packed with action, then this one has double that. Don't get me wrong, it's very subtle, so you can rest assured that it won't overshadow the main plot. There were twists and turns I didn't expect, although I suppose they were very easy to spot early on but I suck at that sort of thing. The old Greek tales surrounding Daedalus were artfully crafted in the plot and were given a fresh perspective by the man in question himself. We also get to see him deal with jealousy, doubt, and of course, his own self-sacrificing flaw for others.The book gets a tad darker as it deals with death, but if there was one neat quirk, it has very faint, faint trace of steampunk in it. Although I'm not sure if you'd even consider it steampunk.Great story.
Annabeth had some hard decisions to make. I love how Riordan ties each story together and how each character he adds has a purpose. In this installment we see our favorite heroes going on a quest inside the labyrinth, an underground maze that is never as it seems. Percy is such a lovable character.
I have to admit that I teared up at a few parts, especially in the ending. Some of the outcomes were easy for me to decipher, but some of them seriously shocked me. It amazes me in every book in this series how well he captures the voice of a young teen boy. She really had to grow up alot in this book, all the characters did really. I have to say my favorite part of this one was watching Nico's character development.
We meet some new gods and some new seriously freaky monsters on this journey. The quest is lead by Annabeth this time. Grover continues on his quest for the lost god Pan. I just don't want to let these characters go yet.
I had already loved the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, and this forth installment just makes make love it even more.It is once again filled with Riordan's fabulous writing. I am such a sucker for the angsty characters.I thought the Titan's Curse was action packed, but this one far out did it. Every chapter held an exciting scene that made it impossible to not jump into the next one. Alot of the suspense is over at the end, but you are still left with some cliffhangers. Him and Percy are great together. I want to say so much more, but I would just be giving away spoilers if I did. His sense of humor always gets me on his side everytime.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians continues to be one of my favorite series. I really enjoyed having Tyson back. I was pleasantly surprised to see Rachel back. I almost don't want to read the next book in the series because it is the last. If you haven't started this series yet, do so ASAP.
He meets Calypso, but can't stay with her. At Camp Half-Blood, Quintus has substituted for Mr. Percy and Annabeth team up in a new game. Soon, they split up, but Percy almost gets himself killed. Grover causes a Panic to stop the whole thing and continues the quest in the next book.I liked this book because it had some funny parts. They find an entrance to the Labyrinth, and they start a quest along with Grover and Tyson.
They meet up with Nico again, and find Luke's body for Kronos to reform. D. Percy gets Rachel to lead them since she can see through the mist. They make it to Triple G ranch and see Nico. Percy defeats Geryon and continues the quest, but Nico wants his sister back to life. They return to camp for battle with Grover and Tyson after they find Pan.
Percy's adventures continue in The Last Olympian.
The battle of the labyrinthTwo demigod friends Percy and Annabeth, one satyr Grover, and one Cyclopes Tyson set out for a dangerous quest to the labyrinth. I liked the main battle scene at the end. Once in the maze they will have to face difficult challenges from fighting monsters to being on a game show hosted by a monster. I think it had a great story line and a lot of action and humor. I think he did a good job following Greek mythology like using the real Greek monsters like the Minotaur.
