This book felt quite a bit darker than the first books and begins addressing some more mature themes (war, death, killing).

I wanted to read this series as I have seen it everywhere and I’m slightly disappointed in myself for not picking this up when I was much younger. However, as a 23-year-old reading Percy Jackson for the first time, I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  

This book still follows Percy Jackson. He is the son of a Greek God, and he had his share of near-death disasters and now his arch enemy Luke wants to invade the camp via an ancient labyrinth. If Luke succeeds, thousands of bloodthirsty monsters will attack. Annabeth is leading this quest with Grover, Tyson and Percy. So, it’s goodbye sunshine and hello darkness as the four of them descend into the terrifying underground and beyond to try and stop Luke before it’s too late.  

I enjoyed this book. I think it’s better than the third book, considering I felt like the third book felt like a filler. This book went completely 180 from funny bants with a few issues to a major issue with real feelings and trying to be a teenager and getting stuck between his feelings. I love how the world is getting built with the action like you don’t feel behind and you know what’s going on with how Rick Riordan has a way of describing things in such a youthful way. I enjoyed this storyline and how Percy is growing up and you can feel the pressure of him and the nerves of him ruining everything and fearing the prophecy.  

These cliff hangers are becoming meaner and meaner, it’s making me want to grab the fifth book and finish this series, but I also don’t want to finish this series, ever.  

P.S. If we lose any major characters in this final book, imma lose it.
