So today I am reviewing Percy Jackson and the battle of the labyrinth.
Plot
Percy Jackson starts a new school and almost dies, which then means he goes to camp half-blood where he finds out Kronos and his gang aided with Luke Castellan are trying to enter the camp using Daedalus's labyrinth. And along with the usual suspects tries to stop them by entering the maze and try to find Daedalus to convince him not to give Luke Ariadne's string.
Characters
Percy Jackson-15 year old son of Poseidon and narrator of the story
Annabeth Chase- 15 year old daughter of Athena and Percy's friend
Rachel Elizabeth Dare- Mortal who can see through the mist
Nico Di Angelo- Son of Hades slightly unstable due to his sisters death and out to get Percy
Luke Castellan- 22 year old Son of Hermes and traitor to the Olympians
Grover Underwood- Satyr who is a friend to Percy and Annabeth on a quest to find Pan
Tyson- Percy's Cyclops younger brother
Daedalus- Keeper of the Labyrinth
Quinton- New swordsman at camp Half-blood
My thoughts
I thought the book at the beginning was becoming a bit tiresome as it always started with the same thing (Percy going to school and some all out fight which means he is expelled from his new school and in trouble with the police) which didn't really excite me, or intrigue me it just made the start really repetitive,
Which I think is really bad at a beginning of any story as I think the beginning is the part where the book grabs your attention and pulls you in.
However the book does begin to become more intriguing as you get to the middle especially in the fact of a ghostly fortune telling foretold by the oracle which keeps you second guessing at who will die which will lead you to the most obvious conclusion... Annabeth!
I also like the fact that we see changes of perception and darker undertones to some of the characters in the book I.E. Clarrise
Another really interesting thing about the book is the subversion from the good vs is bad as you will see in the end but it actually really surprises you and makes you want to cry!
Overall its a really good book and is very intriguing to read
