Book Review
Percy, Annabeth and Thalia find
themselves at the ominous, dark Westover Hall, all the way up in Maine. It
looks like an evil knight’s castle. They are there to find two Half Bloods and
bring them back to Long Island and the safety of Camp Half Blood, where
children born of one mortal parent and one Greek God parent can hone his or her
battle skills and not fear for his life. It was supposed to be quick quest, but
as usual where Percy is concerned, nothing is easy. They are attacked by the
evil Dr. Throne (Luke’s man) and during the battle, Annabeth is pushed over a
cliff.
Aided by Artemis (Goddess of the
Hunt) an her warriors, Percy and Thalia do their half bloods, Bianca and Nico,
and bring them to safety. Unfortunately for the characters (but fortunately for
us), Artemis is Kidnapped only four days before the winter solstice, hen it is
crucial she appear at the Council of the Gods to talk about the impending
return of Kronos who is recruiting half bloods in an attempt to overthrow the
gods.
Zoe, Bianca, Grover, Percy, Thalia go
on a quest to find Artemis. In the meantime, Percy will be searching for
Annabeth as well, because in hs dreams he sees her alive, bound in chains. This
starts a cross country adventure full of skeletal men, half bloods, Greek gods,
manticores and other dangerous creatures. There are battles, subterfuge, flying
Sopwith Camels, sea creature and enough action to keep you riveted to your seat
as you read.
In this third book in the Percy
Jackon and the Olympains series, the action never ceases. But there is more to
these books. They are about friendship and trust and belief. They are about
family, be it biological or formed by those u live with.
