The fourth book in the Percy Jackson series is no less riveting than the others. Set in a world where Greek mythology interacts with modern society, Percy Jackson, son of Poseidon, and his friends must once again work together to fulfill a quest given to them. You will read about how each of the characters grows and develops as individuals, while also strengthening as a group. The plot surrounds one of the antagonists, Luke Castellan, son of Hermes, who has sided with the evil and powerful force, Kronos, Titan of Time. The two plan on using the Labyrinth, an elaborate and confusing structure created by the ancient architect Daedalus, to invade Camp Half-Blood, a sanctuary for demigods. And thus, the race against time begins. Along with the regular group of Percy and his friends, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson, many other characters appear, like Nico di Angelo, Hephaestus, Calypso, and Daedalus himself. This book was very enjoyable to read because Rick Riordan includes many adventures and new character interactions within it. The book series itself also paints a picture of how Greek mythology would integrate with the present-day. I would definitely recommend this book, especially to those who have read Riordan’s work before and to those interested in mythology. 5 stars!
