The Last Olympian, by Rick Riordan

The story is last and fifth installment of Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan. The story talks of Percy and his friends from Camp Half-Blood who travel to New York to save the world from the Titans. They all have no idea who they will fight in order to save the world.

This book is really capturing, you read it over and over because it's so fun. What I liked about the book was the historical accuracy that came with the Greek Mythology stories. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone that likes fantasy stories with a lot of action.

One day when Percy is on a drive Charles Beckendorff approaches him and tells him to act out their plan on attacking the Princess Andromeda. There is a spy at Camp half blood. Charles will sacrifice himself and destroy the ship by himself while Percy escapes from there. The next day Percy is woken up by his half-brother Tyson and The underwater palace is under attack. Percy tells him he wants to stay and fight but he gets sent back to camp half blood. Percy informs the camp that there is a spy roaming around. Percy is still thinking about how to take down Kronos. He emerges from the underworld and leaves Nico behind to convince his father he is going to find Kronos.

The Last Olympians, by Rick Riordan, is a very good book and this episode is the continuation for the battle of the labyrinth. This book is for anyone it has parts that everybody would like. The part i did not like was when Charles Beckendorf sacrificed his life to destroy the Princess Andromeda. The part i liked was when Percy escaped and luckily nothing happened. This book made me feel sad excited and all other kinds of feelings because of the parts. This book has some sad parts some very exciting moments and action packed moments. This book would mostly be could for people who like mysteries and are intrigued by them. This book is also good for people who like to imagine the text into a picture and see all those action packed scenes.

The war for Olympus is rampant in this final book of the series. Kronos is close to taking over, recruiting monster after monster for his army. Will anything the gods or demigods do be enough to stop him? They have to try, if nothing else-this is their home, and they will fight for it. The odds are stacked against Percy and his friends, but they will do their best to save Olympus, the gods, the world, and their home. Whether they will prevail, however, is a different matter entirely...

The thrilling conclusion to the Percy Jackson series, The Last Olympian is thrilling, fast-paced, and has one of the best endings I’ve ever read. Honestly, it really does give a very satisfactory ending to the series as a whole. I didn’t really like how Luke was treated at the end; he hadn’t really earned it in my opinion. However, I do understand why he might have gotten that, and it’s not a huge element of the story. The whole series is just a great read, and I recommend you check it out!

As the final battle that determines the fate of Olympus draws near, Percy Jackson prepares to face his destiny.The Olympians are fighting their own battle, leaving their seats of power unguarded. In an effort to prevent the end of the world, Camp Half Blood prepares for battle in Manhattan. Demigods, the great gods, and their allies are tested in their battle to defeat Kronos's army.

Now that I have finished the entire series, I can say that I am honestly satisfied with the way things ended. I had become so attached to the characters and the overall story that I was dreading the end. However, the ending was so spectacular, that it was fulfilling and took away any negativity I might have had. Over the course of the five books, it was sad to see some characters die, but they resonated in my memory as heroes. Seeing every character develop in their own way was so wholesome and, as always, there was a hint of humor everywhere. I have become such a huge fan and I can definitely say I'll be reading more books by the same author soon in the future.
