Percy Jackson series
By Rick Riordan
The Lightning Thief: The lightning thief is an interesting book for young and old readers. The Lightning thief is a wonderful combination of action, suspense, wonder, and imagination. Combining Ancient Greek myths with the modern world creates an amazing affect considering how they clash at times. There is a shocking affect when one of Percy's 'closest friends' turns on him and spies for the enemy. It breaks the heart of another when she learns he was working for the enemy, shown later to be the enemy's leader for some time and raising The Lord of Time.
The Sea of Monsters: The Sea of Monsters is the second book of The Percy Jackson series. Percy meets his half brother Tyson of who is exceptionally weird. Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson go on an illegal quest (a quest that was not given by the oracle) to rescue Grover from an evil cyclopes. Then they encounter The Princess Andromeda (the ship) which houses an army of monsters and Luke the betrayer.
The Titan's Curse: Thalia is introduced in more detail, she is a daughter of Zeus one of the big three. She is nearing her 16th birthday...is it possible she is the one of the prophecy? Percy, Thalia, Zoe, Grover, & Bianca (she is the daughter of Hades and Nico is her younger brother) go on a quest to stop the titan Atlas and save Annabeth. Luke is defeated and thrown off of a gigantic mountain....does he survive?
The Battle of The Labyrinth: Percy and Annabeth stumble upon the labyrinth while playing capture the flag. They soon get a quest to go into the labyrinth to stop Luke from getting Ariadne's string (magical string that can guide it's holder to anyplace in the world through the labyrinth) but Luke gets the string and launches an attack on Camp Half-Blood. Camp Half-Blood wins but with a death. They destroy the labyrinth by the creator dying (the labyrinth is connected to the creator's life force).
The Last Olympian: The Great Prophecy is becoming reality, Olympus is in danger, war is the only answer. Luke (now transformed into Kronos) leads his army of monsters into Manhattan laying siege on Mt. Olympus. Percy and the other demigods have few numbers compared to Lord Kronos's army. They are forced back to the doors of the Empire State Building when Hades comes to their aid. The last battle is between Luke, Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Ethan. Luke is killed by his own blade. Thus the line 'Cursed blade hero's soul shall reap" in the prophecy, cursed because Luke made a promise with the blade in which he broke.
