Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse

Hi guys ., :D
So this is the third book in the Percy Jackson series and as I have said before, its an awesome series and this book emphasizes it more!

So the book still follows Percy Jackson (son of Poseidon), Annabeth Chase (daughter of Athena), Grover Underwood (satyr) and Percy's cousin Thalia (daughter of Zeus) whom the gang met at the last page of Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters. But this time., a new twist is added, Percy makes 4 new friends. Nico and Bianca di Angelo(siblings), I'd watch out for Nico if i were you., he's tricky., loLzz ., Zoe Nightshade(lieutenant to Artemis), and of course, Artemis herself(goddess of the Hunt). So i thought this was a good start since they all met in one chapter but i also found this kinda borign coz well, mainly, they've already met! so i thought the book was over but noooo. The author introduces the biggest twist so far. Annabeth gets KIDNAPPED and Artemis gets loast.

I was so shocked at this point coz a heroine and a goddess getting kidnapped? wow! but it just gave the reader something to look forward to and this marks the beginning of Percy's adventure. So the everyone back in Cmap Half-Blood go haywire and decide that the heroes go on a quest but unfortunately, Percy does not originally get picked for the quest while Grover, Thalia, Zoe, Bianca and Phoebe(Hunter). However, something "happened" to Phoebe therefore Percy goes by default. xD
I won't tell anymore of the plot coz its gonna ruin it but thats where their adventure starts and let me tell you., theres MORE twists and turns as you read on. :D

So this book, i really liked coz of many reasons:
First- how the author ends off each chapter. Its so cool and how it always leaves the reader shocked or leaves them thinking which makes me read on. hehehe. its a very unique feature in all the books so far even the fourth one(which im one)., xD

Second- its like Harry Potter(but i like Percy Jackson waaayyy betteerrr though) in a way that the adventures flow together. What i mean by this is unlike the Alex Rider series, he goes on a new adventure each time and sometimes it doesnt link back to the other book which is kinda gay because its good in a sequel to refresh the reader of what happened in the last book and this series does exactly just that. Especially in this book coz theres heaps of stuff thats happened in the past two books so it would be pretty hard to summarise the first two but somehow, this book actually refreshed me of what happened in the first two which in my opinion i found a very good feature because it helps the book flow from one adventure to the next. I also liked how the author summarised the book through a few chapters and not just crammed it into one. Coz i imagine its going to be really confusing when youre reading about the first two books in the third one so yeahhh.

In terms of plot, its really exciting coz Percy's former friend Luke, is growing stronger and building a huge evil army of demons and monsters which gives Percy 3 adventures in one book. He has to save Annabeth, Artemis AND defeat Luke !! awesome right ?!!?!?! trust me guys ., this series is AWESOME !!! read them in order though ., otherwise you wont get it., hehehehe.,

  1. These books are soooo popular (one of my sons loves these books and lots of students too) I can't quite bring myself to read them but I probably should try ... one day!! I like the way you have compared the book to other series like Harry Potter and Stormbreaker too because they would probably appeal to similar audiences. Well done.
