Review

This is the third book of the series the Percy Jackson and the Olympians – written by Rick Riordan. To be honest I really enjoyed this book. The story was continued from the ending of the Sea of Monsters. Percy and his friends had faced so many difficulties and went on many adventures till now and I was expecting the same here and Rick did an amazing job in giving us what we were expecting from the sequel of this amazing series.

I can say that I liked this book more than the first two. I found that the action, thrill, and adventure were even more intense along with the storyline. Gods and demigods both have optimum involvement in this book, unlike the previous ones where the majority of the story revolves around demigods only.  

I could not find any cons for this book and the reason is that it just keeps getting better and better succeeding chapters. We got to know some new characters as well and some Gods make their first appearance in the series. The detailed description of the Olympus was stunning and feels great to imagine the place where gods reside.

If I say this book also shown some emotional development in our characters then it won’t be false or incorrect. We saw an old friend betraying which really gave a huge impact on the story and also we saw some spark romantic moments between Annabeth and Percy. These kinds of moments balanced the story along with overflowing action and suspense.

The ending of this book has so many emotions inbuilt, you will experience thrill, fear, excitement, suspense all together and the literal ending will leave you in sorrow. I’ll leave that on you readers so that you can feel those emotions yourself while diving into this story. I don’t think I have to suggest you to read this book if you are following this series but those who are unaware, don’t wait just dive into this story right away.
