It was ok. Not as good as the others though, as far as I can remember ( which isn't exactly good because if it's good, then I remember it and if it's not then that's why I forgot it).
Despite being my favorite book series as a kid, I’ve been quite iffy during this re-read. I’ve found the first two books to be genuinely awful, borderline unenjoyable.
This, however, was definitely a step in the right direction. A really interesting new set of characters are introduced to the story and puts Percy on an accelerated track to true leadership and personal growth.
Not to be a negative nelly, but I’m beginning to wonder if my dislike of the book is tied to the narrator… Very much dislike the artistic choices they made for voices, accents, and annunciation.
I just finished the third book in the Percy Jackson series. This is one of the series I am reading along with a podcast. The third book seems to be where this series takes a turn to the slightly more serious. Percy again must travel across the country to help a friend (does this kid ever stay in one place??), and needs to contend with trying to understand more mysterious prophecies.
This book (and the series, so far) are fun and easy to read, and I'd definitely recommend it to any middle-grade readers near you (especially boys, especially neurodivergent boys). Also probably more fun for anyone with a working understanding of Greek mythology. I'm still waiting for it to really grab me, though. E tells me the 4th and 5th books are the best, so I'm excited to get started on the next one!
livro impecável. Batalhas incríveis e MUITO emocionante. A morte que acontece me fez chorwr pela primeira vez lendo uma obra escrita. Obra-prima.
Rick finally hits his stride and the stakes continue to grow as the world becomes larger and larger.
First of the series that I didn't remember much from when I read as a kid going into it, and it was really amazing memories of reading it coming back to me. This is the best of the series yet.
💬: “And the next thing I knew, one of them grabbed Thalia and me, the other grabbed Zoë and Grover, and we flew straight up, over the dam and the river, the skeleton warriors shrinking to tiny specks below us and the sound of gunfire echoing off the sides of the mountains."

Percy Jackson - The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan is the third book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians middle grade series. In this book, Anabeth goes missing at the beginning with a mission that had just gone wrong. Percy, Annabeth, Thalia, and Grover are tasked with helping two new half-bloods back to Camp Half-Blood. Will Percy and the gang be able to save Annabeth?
The Titan's Curse has a lot of action and adventure, this series is really a joy to read. This book was really entertaining, I'm really starting to love the growing cast of characters. There are honestly so many new characters in this book and reading about them and seeing their personalities and reactions to certain things is really exciting. There was a nice cliff hanger at the end of this, it makes me want to read the rest of the series immediately.
Overall, this book was exciting and entertaining just like the previous books in the series. I'm giving this 5 stars out of 5

Zoe ?? um pouco subdesenvolvida na trama, assim como os irm??os Di Angelo. O in??cio em Westover Hall poderia ter tido uma propor????o mais ??pica mas sofre da decupagem econ??mica de Riordan.
Isso n??o ?? exatamente uma reclama????o e mais um ponto em comum que tenho com os livros anteriores. Riordan ?? econ??mico demais em seus textos. O gostinho de quero mais que ele constantemente deixa em seus textos beira o n??o-saud??vel em algumas ocasi??es.
A conclus??o deixa uma boa divis??ria na franquia e define muito bem o n??vel das consequ??ncias que est??o por vir nos livros seguintes.
YO TENIA TODA LA RAZON DIOS QUE INTELIGENTE SOY (ah quien era)
Que buen libro, hasta ahora es mi favorito, literal no quería que termine de lo bueno que era, estuve en el ultimo capítulo casi un mes porque no quería terminarlo, soy Joey metiendo el libro al freezer. Ademas sin mencionar que tarde en leerlo porque quien me prestaba los libros me dejo de hablar y tuve que juntar dinero para comprarmelo.
The boy continues to love this series and I'm glad for that. I found this one enjoyable. I do like the modern takes on the Greco-Roman gods. In the end, the storyline didn't stick with me the way the first two stories did.
The third installment introduces a higher level of conflict among the characters and brings in some exciting new secondary characters. The world of Percy Jackson continues to deliver.

Younger readers may find it a little scary.
As always, I had a great time reading yet another entry in this lovely exciting series for children.
I loved the familial relationships in this one and where the story went.
I am so excited about book 4!
Percy is the only man that deserves rights /s
But for real, I am so mad at the ending. How could you do that to us Rick. Little me would have been devastated so maybe it's a good thing that I'm reading them now.
Really excited to see how this will all end and rip my bank account because I'm gonna have to buy the next series now
the last chapters damn, no need to make me so sad
what zoe loved most after the hunters was the stars and now she is a constellation :”((( absolutely devastated
also nico,loml, please be ok
I can't believe Luke is still in play. This whole thing is going to span the whole 5 books, isn't it? I feel like nothing happened in this even though a lot happened. Like any episode in some tv show where the characters did a lot but in the end, nothing really changed. I am also starting to get a little sick of the ‘random monster comes out of nowhere' thing this series keeps fulling.
The Titan's Curse is really where the Percy Jackson series begins to take shape. All the major players are revealed for the overall storyline and the book is exciting. Percy is a little less juvenile as he is growing up. Enjoyable read always
I really enjoyed this addition to the Percy Jackson series. This felt like the first point in the story where these teens face real consequences and stakes. The tone felt much more serious in this one. The plot was interesting and fast paced, while the world expansion was well thought out. I really enjoyed the different ways the characters' relationships developed and matured. Rick Riordan did a great job of make these teens feel like teens, with all of the awkward social interactions and everything. However, they still did awesome magic and saved the world, which is the marker of a great middle grade/ya fantasy book. My biggest gripe so far with the series is the stereotypical fatphobia found in a lot of fantasy, where every bad/evil person is fat and ugly. It's just lazy story telling.
I'm really loving this series so far, otherwise!
