Welcome to my fourth book review, today I will be summarizing the fourth book of the Percy Jackson series: the battle of the labyrinth.
Percy attends an orientation at Goode High School that goes south when a
snake monster disguised as a cheerleader attacks him and sets the school on
fire. With the help of the mortal Elizabeth Rachel Dare, Percy gets out of
there alive.
Percy and Annabeth go to Camp Half-Blood to tell the campers about
Luke’s plan to invade. While they are at camp, Grover goes on trial for not
finding Pan. During a war game designed by Quintus, the new swordmaster. Percy
and Annabeth accidentally stumble into the Labyrinth.
They are convinced that Luke and the titan army are looking to enter the
camp by this entrance. Annabeth plans a quest to go find Dedalus’s workshop. Annabeth,
Percy, Tyson, and Grover make their way through the Labyrinth, on their journey, they meet monsters, gods with their own agendas, and the trickery of the
Labyrinth itself.
The Labyrinth leads the group to different locales where they must labor
for monsters and gods to receive hints about Daedalus’ location. The group
crosses paths with Nico, who is on his own mission to resurrect his sister with
help from the ghost of King Minos. The questers split into pairs so they can
find Daedalus and Pan.
On a side-mission for Hephaestus, Percy causes Mount St. Helens to
erupt, which lands him on the island of Ogygia alone with Calypso. As he heals,
he contemplates staying there but decides he must return to the real world and
his friends. Percy reunites with Annabeth; they recruit Rachel Elizabeth Dare
to lead them to Daedalus’ workshop with her clear-sight powers. After a brief
collision with Luke in a fighting arena, the group meets Daedalus, who has been
Quintus all along, he was also Luke’s spy. However, King Minos double-crossed
Nico, and Kronos double-crossed Daedalus, bringing both half-bloods to fight
alongside Percy.
Percy sees Kronos regain his form by using Luke as a vessel, but Nico
traps the Titan in his palace. Grover finds the god Pan, who gives Grover a new
purpose before fading from existence. Unable to stop the Titan army, the
questers return to Camp Half-Blood and fight off the monster invasion with the
help of some heroes who switched sides. Daedalus chooses to die, destroying the
Labyrinth.
Percy and his friends try to enjoy the rest of the summer. Percy returns
to the mortal world for the school year, but Poseidon and Nico visit to share
new information on unresolved threats that lie ahead.
opinion:
The battle of the labyrinth has a total of 20 chapters and 361pages. this book is probably my second favorite in this series because it tells Annabeth's backstory and focuses on her, Percy, and Luke. I like the beginning of this book because it introduces Sally's (Percy's mom) first boyfriend since Gabe, her abusive ex-husband. I don't like the end of this book because Kronos comes back, but other than that this book is pretty good. This is the last time I will say this because it's getting annoying, yes I would recommend this book to anyone, but only if you are planning on reading the whole thing.
