Percy Jackson and the Titan’s Curse is a exciting book to read with darker themes and fun
action by Rick Riordan. The third book in the series is about Percy and his friends going on a
dangerous quest to rescue his best friend Annabeth Chase and the Greek goddess Artemis,
who have both been kidnapped by the titans. With more monsters and mysteries unravel the
third book is a reminder of how great the Percy Jackson series is.
I loved this book as we gained more story progressions and character interaction that were
intriguing between Thalia and Percy. I felt Rick Riordan fleshed out the characters of Thalia and
Percy alongside characters like Zoe. As we learn more about these Greek mythological
characters, we are reminded that not everything is rainbow and sunshines. Mr. Riordan is able
to balance the harshness and cruelty of his world where demigods die regularly while still giving
us hope through Percy’s grit and humorous action as he cuts down monster after monster to
save Annabeth and the world. The only criticism I had in the book was that the book dragged
before the adventure started as Rick Riordan could have made Percy’s internal struggles more
compelling to read. In the end, this book is very good for anyone to read as the story progresses
alongside the reader. As the characters age through the series it reveals the darker aspects of
Greek mythology and how the Gods aren’t necessarily good people.
