The Review:

This book is full of unexpected twists and turns, as well as red herrings. Brings a good time with amazing characters and I really like the chemistry between the two main characters, and I really hope they end up together. It is suitable for children and adults of all ages; however, avoid becoming lost in the labyrinth in this one while dreaming. Be warned: Daedalus will startle you. From beginning to end, this is an action-packed journey.

I was in a looped dream and was stuck in it for a long time till I realized I am dreaming and that is how I was able to wake up but good thing is that I was with all these demigods and I am always as strong in dreams as I am in real life so it was not a problem surviving but still a looping dream is a very dangerous place, that is why I said avoid becoming lost in the labyrinth. Really nit for children under ten because they can have nightmares like this for days after reading this book.

This series and book are hilarious, intelligent, and inventive. I like Rick Riordan's ability to smoothly weave traditional Greek mythology into contemporary settings as if the stories were always intended to be told in this way. I like that the stories are insightful and the characters are fully developed, in addition to being great page-turners. The overarching narrative of Kronos and his dark army is brilliant, and each mission is more complex and entertaining to read about than if it were a separate adventure.

It is another flawless book, but I must discuss some issues that I discovered that may cause some readers to believe the book isn't perfect, but overall it is an amazing read, and I may be expecting 100 percent perfection from all of the books in this series, which is why I discovered these issues. This was, without a doubt, the penultimate book. I think it's my fourth favorite of the five novels in the series, largely because so much of it feels like a build-up to the final installment.

The characters were all fantastic and true to themselves, which is always crucial, and the narrative of this novel had nothing intrinsically wrong with it. But this time, I had the impression that everything was happening only to build up and prepare for The Last Olympian. Maybe it's because I already knew the fifth part was the last one, and I was already sad that I was nearing the conclusion of a wonderful series, and I wouldn't be able to read any more about the characters I'd grown to love and care about for so long.

A lot of the time, there was so little information that it was easier to go from one thing to the next. It doesn't destroy the tale in any way, but it does make it feel a little shallower than it has to be. It is not a defect; in fact, it makes the novel feel quicker and more fluid. However, a mature reader may find it shallow at points. Keep in mind that this book is aimed at early adolescents, although it is suitable for the entire family and all ages except children under the age of 10.

Final Thoughts:

Overall, a flawless novel with no discernible flaws. This is a fun-filled novel for the whole family, but keep in mind that it is part of a series, and you will need to read the prior installments to fully comprehend what is happening or being said. Some people attempt to compare this series to Harry Potter, but it is not Harry Potter, so don't make that comparison. Instead, enjoy it because it is in a league of its own, and I have never seen a series that can score 100% points and recommendations for all of its novels.

Yes, I know it's not perfect for everyone, but I found no flaws in any of the books in this series. And, as I previously stated, I knew this book was the second to last in the series because I began it late, and by that time, all five parts were available.

Synopsis:

“NOTE: Cover art may vary and cannot be selected.

As an incoming freshman, Percy isn't expecting his high school orientation to be any fun. But when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears, followed by demon cheerleaders, things quickly move from bad to worse.

In this fourth installment of the blockbuster series, time is running out as war between the Olympians and the evil Titan lord Kronos draws near. Even the safe haven of Camp Half Blood grows more vulnerable by the minute as Kronos's army prepares to invade its once impenetrable borders. To stop them, Percy and his demigod friends will set out on a quest through the Labyrinth-a sprawling underground world with stunning surprises at every turn. Full of humor and heart-pounding action, this fourth book promises to be their most thrilling adventure yet.”
