The Battle of the Labyrinth what a fantastic fourth instalment to this series! I had thought the third book was lagging a little, and was a little same-y, but Rick Riordan really picked up the pace here again.

There were multiple plot twists, lots of drama, some fantastic witty lines and lots of fun!

Our favourite gang all came back together with Percy, Tyson, Annabeth, Grover and a new addition, Rachel Dare! That one was a bit of table turner, but I enjoyed her presence. I'm interested to see where the next book will go with the character of Rachel and relationship with the demi-God gang. The one aspect in this book I didn't like is Annabeth, usually she's full of spunk and friendliness, but in this one she was petty, catty and all-around a bit mopey and a drama queen. I understand she's a teenage girl, but I think I expected better of a child of Athena, who spouts all the jargon about being wise.

There were a few moments where I have to say my interest waned and the plot seemed to skip around in my head since it was quite quick and the labyrinth was a maze. However, overall, the book was light, easy-to-read and lots of fun.

I think this is a must read for fans of greek-mythology and young-adult fiction. The books are easily accessible to people of all ages. I know most people probably jumped on this band-wagon a long time ago, but I'm glad I finally delved into the world of Percy Jackson. Looking forward to the final instalment!
