Well here we are. Halfway through the series, and I'm as hooked as ever to this world I've become entrenched in.
The titan war is brewing ever closer and it's all Percy and his friends can do to keep the Titans from rising and monsters from killing them. But they do have more help: Thalia, Nico, Zoe, and Bianca all join Percy and Grover to save Annabeth. Can they do it and still stop the Titans from rising?
Hands down this is my favorite book in the series because all of my favorite characters are finally together in one amazing book. I can't bring myself to describe in words just how much this book encapsulates all of my feelings.
But I'm going to try.
Think of your favorite Christmas present or Hanukkah present or birthday present, whatever, then multiply that feeling you had when you first opened it by about ten, and you have an idea of how I felt when I read this book for the first time. And everything I read this book over again, I get that feeling.
The plot of this is simply amazing, and this is the first time that Riordan really pulls on my heart strings by not giving everyone a happy ending But it's understandable; the Titan War is almost upon them, Percy and his friends are maturing, it would be counter-productive if nothing pivotal happened.
So Zoe is hands down my favorite character of all time. She is the sassiest immoral teenager ever and has the perfect job description: a hunter of Artemis. The first time I read this book, I told myself that I wished I was a hunter too, and this wish hasn't yet stopped. Combine this with ominous prophecies, impending world doom, and blue food, and you have the perfect formula for an amazing demigod adventure!
