Percy Jackson isn’t expecting freshman orientation to be any fun. But when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears on campus, followed by demon cheerleaders, things quickly move from bad to worse.
In this fourth installment of the blockbuster series, time is running out as war between the Olympians and the evil Titan lord Kronos draws near. Even the safe haven of Camp Half-Blood grows more vulnerable by the minute as Kronos’s army prepares to invade its once impenetrable borders. To stop the invasion, Percy and his demigod friends must set out on a quest through the Labyrinth–a sprawling underground world with stunning surprises at every turn.
As always, I enjoyed this Percy Jackson book. They’re funny, they’re sweet, they’re lovably charming, and they’re the perfect mix of action and romance. I find no qualms about these books, other than the fact that they’re written at a middle school-age reading level.
(But then again, you’re talking to the girl who read 11th grade required reading books in 7th grade.)
I’m starting to get a bit worried though. A Percy/Annabeth pairing has been hinted at since the first book and now a new girl named Rachel has come into the picture. I am normally one for crack!pairings (see: Tassie, Plossie) but when it comes to books like these, I like to keep things traditional.
On another book-related note, I am going to try to get a summary, or Book in 15 Minutes, of Suspicion within the week.
