Lots more action in the second book!

Surprisingly well-written, and not at all what I expected. A most enjoyable story, and not at all "princessy-perfect."
I loved it just as much reading it the second time! The story telling is just so down-to-earth and personal, while touching on big subjects and grand plot schemes. Beautiful!

One of my absolute favorite books... laughed and cried, etc...

 Percy has been avoiding the Great Prophecy for years, but now it looks like the prophecy is coming back to haunt him. Before his 16th birthday, he will make a decision that will either destroy Olympus or save them all. The war with Kronos is not going well, and Kronos is planning to attack New York City. Percy and his friends try to gather all the help they can to defend the city and protect Olympus, but it does not look like it will be enough.

I loooooove it! What an excellent series, and the ending was the best book of the lot! I just adore all these characters, and I cried and cried when some of the demigod campers die in this last book. There is something so beautiful and sad about a noble hero sacrificing himself to protect others. But even with all the deaths and war and destruction, there is still a lot of humor and sass in this book that had me laughing in the middle of my tears.

In this fourth book of the series, Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson are exploring the dangerous Labyrinth. Luke and the armies of Kronos are trying to find a way to navigate through the maze so that they can launch an attack on Camp Half-Blood. Percy and Annabeth have to get an ancient artifact before Luke can find it. But Grover has his own problems searching for the lost god Pan, and Nico di Angelo is still wandering around on his own trying to find a way to bring his sister back from the dead. 

I just loved re-reading this favorite series again this year. Percy is so sassy and hilarious. Grover, the satyr, is adorable and ridiculously funny. And of course, my favorite character is Annabeth, the daughter of Athena. She is not nicknamed Wise Girl for nothing. I love how she and Percy have a rocky relationship in this book, as they begin to grow apart a little, but then find each other again.

The writing is snappy, the adventures are imaginative, and I love learning about the Greek legends! I love this whole series!
