The Percy Jackson series is starting to get exciting. I very much enjoyed this - the third book in the series. It was a little startling that it didn’t carry on directly from the second book which is a shame as I would have liked to have read the immediate reaction to Thalia’s return and how she adjusted to not being a tree. I was also a little disappointed by the ending as I would have liked to have learnt more of Thalia in the future book although I supposed for the prophecy sake the author wanted her out of the way to focus on Percy.
I was a little disappointed that Tyson – Percy’s half brother – didn’t get much of a role in this book as I did like him in the second book. But I did like seeing Percy’s other relationships change and develop. I especially enjoyed the scene between Percy and his dad.
I found this book to be quite emotional particularly Zoe. I couldn’t help but cry. I think it was because the book had been leading up to something big and then when it happened to a character you had grown to care about over such a short space of time it was quite an emotional blow made all the more emotional by Artemis.
I do enjoy the involvements of the gods and the other immortal characters. They add an extra layer of interest to the books and I do like learning a little bit of ancient Greek history and mythology along the way.
I look forward the reading the next two books just to see how things come to pass as well as how the relationship between Annabeth and Percy develops because I do rather like the pair of them together. I also hope Percy manages to sort Nico out because I have a feeling he could be rather dangerous an enemy to have especially given what happened to Bianca.
