The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan


Percy Jackson’s third adventure begins with the rescue of two mysterious half-bloods, Nico and Bianca. During the mission, however, they lose Annabeth, and Percy is determined to find her. Worse, with Chiron gone, the camp now has a new director-a man named Tantalus who cannot eat or drink. With monsters everywhere and a dangerous enemy on the rise, Percy and friends must join forces with the Hunters for a chance at victory.

Not only are the new characters wonderful, they prove to be very surprising. In the book Percy Jackson and the Titan’s Curse, by Rick Riordan, especially, we get some great character moments where we find out truly shocking facts about them-things that you only realize were obvious after they happen. I do wish Bianca and Zoe, along with the other hunters, got more character development. They definitely don’t get enough time for us to appreciate them; just long enough so you become emotionally attached. However, they’re still really amazing in the moments they do get, and I really recommend you read it.

Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia meet during Winter Break to answer a distress call from their friend Grover. Together, they are able to escort two new demigods to Camp Half-Blood. However, little do they know what troubles lie ahead of them. To rescue the Goddess Artemis and their friend Annabeth, Percy, Thalia and Grover join Artemis’s Huntresses on a quest. Encounters with a traitor prove that the enemy forces of the Titan Kronos are getting stronger, but will they be able to aid in his downfall?

This is the third book in the series and I'm constantly left wanting for more! The book is so enjoyable because of how hilarious some of the dialogue is, and how relatable the characters are. There were some plot twists and the book left me with so many questions that I cannot wait to have answered. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to dedicate myself to a series,and now I find myself a loyal fan. I recommend this series to honestly anyone, because there is something in it for everyone.
