Book: Percy Jackson and the Olympians ---- The Titan’s Curse

Author: Rick Riordan

  It all started with a mission of saving new half-bloods. Percy, Annabeth and Thalia got the message from Grover. It seemed that Grover, as a satyr, had found some new blood for Camp Half-blood. (Percy didn’t know Thalia well, he just heard some stories about her, but he knew that Thalia’s father was Zeus.) When they got to the place where Grover asked them to go, they met the monster, which looked like a normal human. After discussing the strategy, they decided not to be so suspicious. As a result, they separated. While Percy was focusing on talking to Annabeth and pretending they were doing nothing, the monster had already taken the half-bloods away.

   Percy decided to find out where the two half-bloods are, however, he was tricked by the monster. When he asked Grover for help through some weird way, they all came to his rescue. During the fight, a group of girls came and helped them. In the process, they lost Annabeth, who fell of the cliff with the monster sadly. The Hunters and their boss, Artemis didn’t try to save Annabeth. They thought she was dead.  What’s worse, The Hunters successfully persuaded one of the half-blood called Bianca join them. As a result, Bianca’s brother Nico was alone now. Disappointed, Percy had nothing to do but leave for Camp Half-blood with the rest of people. When they finally got to the camp and informed Chiron the news, he was not so optimistic about Annabeth. What should Percy do? Leave the camp for Annabeth? Corporate with Thalia?

    The best part of this book is that all the things didn’t start in a good way. We got tragedy and separation, which people love to see. Even though Percy didn’t get along quite well with Thalia as far as I could read, I knew that heroes must know that unity is strength. In order to reach their goal, they should not leave each other alone.
