Percy Jackson And The Battle Of The Labyrinth

Percy Jackson And The Battle Of The Labyrinth

Synopsis

This is the fourth incredible adventure in the most exciting and commercial fantasy-adventure series since Artemis Fowl . Honestly, blowing up another school was the last thing I wanted to do. As the son of a Greek god, I've had my share of near-death disaster. This summer, I didn't choose to battle the cheerleading squad, but when two hissing she-devils with fangs are heading straight for you, what's a half-blood meant to do? That was just the beginning. This is the one where my arch-enemy, Luke, is looking for a way to invade our camp via an ancient labyrinth. If he succeeds, thousands of bloodthirsty monsters will attack. So it's goodbye sunshine, hello darkness as four of us descend into the terrifying underground and beyond...

  Finally, we get into the really good stuff. It felt likes this is the story Riordan wanted to be telling all along, and that THE SEA OF MONSTERS and THE TITAN'S CURSE were just necessary set-ups. Nico di Angelo has rapidly become a really engaging character, too.
  
  I was glad that Riordan finally seemed to find the balance between referencing Greek myths and just retelling them with his characters - sure, we had Percy cleaning out Geryon's stables as Heracles once did, but that was one small, relevant part of a larger quest, not the be all and end all as these "references" were in the last two books.
  
  The ending had me a bit peeved, though - we keep learning how nutso the gods can be, but when Hera is pissed at Annabeth, she doesn't just smite her. What gives?
  
  Anyway, I've gone from wanting the series to hurry up and get better to being disappointed there isn't much more to go. Great stuff!
