Book four arrived a day after the release date. I felt like Christmas had come and gone and Santa had forgotten me. I got over it quickly, however, when the book found its way into my hands. It was another Riordan can't-put-it-down-till-I'm-finished book. I actually read until two in the morning to get to the end. Lots of new-old monsters and its setting in the labyrinth is ideal. Rick, I hope you are writing like a madman on book five.
A pesar de que hubo escenas muy tristes y siento yo que le quitaron un poco de protagonismo a Clarisse, me encanto como se ve nuevamente una evolución en madurez por parte de Percy, aunque si bien sigue siendo un niño ahora se enfrenta a otro tipo de problemas como lo son los problemas del amor y como buen adolescente esto representa un problema aún mayor que lo que ocurre con cronos. Tyson regresó y eso me encanto ya que siento que le da un alivio a la trama tan tensa por la que esta tomando rumjo la historia. También a Groover ahora lo ponen en una situación bastante tensa y que además se necesita de una madurez y liderazgo y esto da pie para explotar una nueva fase ta de Groover. Regresando con Tyson siento que también le están dando cierta madurez con respecto a su primera aparición, ya es más centrado y no tan impulsivo, ayuda mucho a percy. En definitiva esta historia se va poniendo cada vez mejor y va teniendo una estructura mucho más sólida que antes.
Best book in the so far! it was exciting and emotional with romance, friendship and loyalty.
Not as good as the Titan's Curse but still better than the first two books of the series. For a penultimate finale, I was disappointed by the lack of stakes... The new characters in this one don't really get to shine due to the constant flip-flopping of timelines and locations.
Percy Jackson’s saga continues! I started this series because it was E’s favorite when he was younger, plus there is also a fun podcast bookclub to go along with it. This is definitely my favorite book of the series so far - as with Harry Potter the books get more interesting (to me) as the characters get older and the stakes get higher. I have high hopes for the final book!
I FORGOT HOW GOOD THIS BOOK WAS!!! Depth is added to a few characters, pasts are being introduced, and there's nothing like good ol' jealousy to add to the chaos
I feel like Rick steps up his game in this book and develops his action language, which makes the whole novel feel more cohesive then before.
The first book of the series I really don't remember anything about other than it being about a labyrinth. And man. This is easily the best of the series yet, so many great moments that just scream adventure, maybe the most variety we've had, and although it is for 14 year olds, some pretty graphic moments, like Daedalus being a prisoner and being inferred to getting tortured, and also Daedalus almost bleeding to his death. Not much came back to refresh my memory though, other than Pan, and the ending where Poseidon shows up in a reign of jealousy. I cannot wait to read The Last Olympian, which I cannot even remember anything at all that happens.
Parts I really liked, like Calypso and some parts of the labyrinth. But I felt like there were too many side characters being introduced and I didn't like entering/exiting the labyrinth so many times.
this was the hardest book to get thru in the series for some reason idk it was good tho
Dios que libro INCREIBLE simplemente maravilloso, me encantó de principio a fin, comparte puesto n1 con “the titan’s curse” porque no puedo decidir cual me encantó más
(No estoy lista para lo que se viene)
Q buen libro, creo que cada que acabo uno siempre cambio de favorito, me gustó demasiado, gran evolución de la historia. No se porque pero llore con el final, problemas emocionales míos
A kind of return to the classic quests and mostly historical setting of the series following the dark third entry. Whereas the last book was quite focused in its plot, this one had a few storylines running concurrently, diverging and converging whenever appropriate. Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Tyson, Nico, Clarisse, the other campers and supporting Gods each have their own journeys. However instead of a mess, Riordan weaves a mesmerising story that's all about an individual's deeds and the impacts created by them. In a way that reminds me of the Avengers movies, there's something satisfying about seeing these characters after short periods of time and witnessing their interactions and growth, especially now the reader is really attached to them. Teenage romance was also a theme of this book, but didn't overtake the story and development which I appreciated. As usual, the humour was great, and the mystery really led to a “smack-yourself-in-the-forehead” kind of revelation which was entertaining. And I will never forget that cliffhanger ending for the finale.
forgot wat happened~
but i felt kinda claustrophobic the whole time XD
but the suspense... X3
YAssssss, so much action! And Nico being a little shit at first, but that's totally understandable after what happened in the Titan's curse. I love Nico's character anyway, so it is always a pleasure to see his character in the book.
This book is fast paced and it has a LOT of build up towards the final book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. So many things are happening all at once.
I love that we get to know Rachel Dare better and better, she's a great character and I'm happy to see more of her again :)
I LOVED this book, obviously. I absolutely adored the demigods in this one. Their friendship is growing with each book and I mean, their group is the definition of Friendship goals. (at least, for as long as this series continues, lol)
The boy continues to love this series. He laughs regularly throughout the story and is always anxious to start the next one.
Recognizing I am not the demographic for this series, I would say this was a fun read, but ultimately I found it not memorable and probably wouldn't read it again. That said, I have gone back to read books I enjoyed at earlier ages and found that they weren't as good as I remembered them.
I loooved this book! It was the best of the series so far and got me really excited for the last book.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I couldn't stand Annabeth through this book. For a daughter of Athena she is beyond unreasonable and I just wanted to throttle her.
The fourth installment in the series is one of the most memorable for me, and has always been my favorite. If you've made it this far you can't just stop now.
