the titans curse



I read the book The Titans Curse from the series Percy Jackson and The Olympians. I chose this book because it looked very interesting and was part of the series I am already reading. This book is mostly about Percy Jackson and his friends going on a quest to save Artemis the hunt goddess. Percy lost her friend Annabeth who has been captured along with Artemis. In addition, they must find out what the doomsday monster is before winter solstice ends because Annabeth and Artemis have been captured by it.

"And for your sixteenth birthday you will overthrow Olympus" (The Titans Curse, pg.233). This quote is talking about Thalia the daughter of Zeus. It explains that Thalia is turning sixteen in two days and in the prophecy it says that the son or daughter of the big three who reaches age sixteen first will have the power to destroy Olympus or save Olympus from the titan lord Kronos. The titan lord is trying to trick Thalia into helping him destroy mount Olympus.

I like this book in every way because it had many action sequences and was very interesting. I also enjoyed the book because was well written and explained everything very thoroughly. I would recommend this book to readers who like science fiction and Greek mythology. Also, I would recommend this book to people who already know a little about Greek mythology.

I love your blog and I love that book. I thought it was great because it told the story of Percy Jackson trying to bring down the evil titan, Kronos. It is my favorite book in the series.
