WARNING SPOILERS
One missing goddess, two new
demigods, and the King of the Titans Kronos is rising. Could life be more
complicated for the young demigod Percy Jackson? The book I am currently reading is called The
Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan. It is the third book of the Percy Jackson and
the Olympians series. During this exciting and fast-moving novel, Percy is
faced with challenges, tough decisions, and new discoveries. Throughout the
story Percy goes on a quest with Grover the satyr, 2 of the Hunters, and Thalia
the daughter of Zeus. The demigods search here and there for Artemis, meanwhile
Kronos is rising and ex-camper Luke is helping him with his evil plan. His plan
is to take over Olympus and he will stop at nothing to do so. Percy goes along
to help his friends find Artemis, but his mind is on other things. He is trying
to rescue his close friend Annabeth and is distressed by the odd past of the
two new demigods, Bianca and Nico Di Angelo. Bianca and Nico are new to Camp
Half-Blood but no one is quite sure who their godly parent is. This novel is
full of adventure and I would recommend it to anyone who likes Greek Mythology
and adventure.
The protagonist in this book is
named Percy Jackson. He is son of Poseidon; his mother is a mortal named Sally
Jackson. In this book he is 14 years old. He has short black hair, sea green
eyes, and average build. Percy is a very brave protagonist. In previous books
this is proved many times. For example in the first book to the series, The
Lightning Thief, Percy battles Medusa. He could have just run away but he faced
Medusa. Percy is also a very loyal guy; he would do anything to help his
friends. The whole reason he is going on the quest is to find his friend
Annabeth! Another word I would use to describe Percy Jackson is humble. When he
saves the day he does not go around bragging about it. One of Percy’s flaws
would be a has a very quick temper. Sometimes he says things without thinking
which gets the Gods mad at him from time to time. He can never seem to get
along with the War God, Ares. For some reason Percy always gets mad when they are
together, and he does not try and stop himself from saying something mean that
could make Ares mad. Overall Percy is a very good person who always tries to
help out.
This story takes place in the 21st
century, I am guessing anywhere from 200-2012 The story first starts at
Westover Hall, a military school in Maine. Percy, Annabeth and Thalia are there
to meet Grover and take the newly found demi-gods, Bianca and Nico Di Angelo,
back to Camp Half-Blood. They were picking up demi-gods because it can be
dangerous for them to be in the places that are not protected from monsters
because monsters always seem to find them. Then they are all at Camp
Half-Blood.. After this, the setting changes quite a bit throughout the story
seeing as to they are on a quest so the group does not stay in the same spot
the whole time. They go to places such as San Francisco. The military school in
Maine reminds me of my old school. It sounds very royal looking and fancy. Camp
Half-Blood also reminds me of a few things. It reminds me of school trip we
went on because it sounds like they do various outdoor activities at Camp
Half-Blood such as canoeing, archery, rock climbing and more. It also reminds me of my old day camp I had to
go too because of how they all have to sit with their cabin at lunch and we had
to do that at the camp I went too as well. So that is the setting for this novel.
