The Last Olympian

The amazing final book of the Percy Jackson series.

The final battle between the Titans and the Olympians is starting. Typhon has awakened and is now wreaking havoc everywhere. With the Gods busy battling them, and Poseidon defending his own undersea kingdom, it's up to Percy and his friends to defend New York from the assaults led by their former friend — Luke Castellan.

While the Great Prophecy doesn't sound too good, Percy has a lot of other things he needs to worry about. Hades won't help the Olympians, just like how the Ares cabin refuses to help their friends, and there is still a spy among them. When he meets Luke's mother in person, Percy knows that there are still many mysteries left unsolved.

Follow Percy's last adventure as he eventually makes the ultimate decision, fulfilling his role as it was described in the Great Prophecy. The fate of Olympus is indeed in his hands.. though what will happen next isn't exactly what he expected.

I love Rick Riordan's writing style as well as the amount of action is his books. The Last Olympian is fast-paced and full of action, just like the other books in the series. Because they're not on a “mission” this time, for me this book doesn't feel as adventurous as the prequels. However, the descriptive battle scenes and unpredictable twists makes up for it.

Since I love almost all of the major characters, it's really relieving that none of them died in the book. A lot of people might not share the same opinion, but I might not be able to enjoy the ending if someone important dies.

Overall, this is a great finale for the Percy Jackson series. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys fantasy and adventure, mixed with Greek mythology. :)
