Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian is the fifth awesome adventure in Rick Riordan's top-ten bestselling series. Half Boy. Half God. ALL Hero. Most people get presents on their sixteenth birthday. I get a prophecy that could save or destroy the world. It happens when you're the son of Poseidon, God of the Sea.According to an ancient prophecy, I turn sixteen and the fate of the entire world is on me. But no pressure. Now Kronos, Lord of the Titans, is beginning his attack on New York City. And the dreaded monster Typhon is also heading our way. So it's me and forty of my demi-god friends versus untold evil . . . ----- 'Riordan takes the reader back to the stories we love; then shakes the cobwebs out of them' Eoin Colfer 'Witty and inspired.

This is by far my favourite out of the 5 Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Safe to say Rick Riordan has a new fan and I'm gonna have to borrow the rest of the gazillion other books in the universe.
Percy is stupidly powerful yet somehow manages to be the most sarcastic teenager I have ever met. All the characters are both loveable and want to make you shake them into some sense because oh boy do they make some dumb decisions some time.
There were so many hair gripping moments where I did not know what was coming next. Also so many sad moments like wtf. The battle scenes were written to keep you engaged throughout (and there were a lot of battle scenes). I love Percy and all the other characters and am so happy with how it ended. I'm excited to see where it will take them all. I've officially entered my Greek mythology era again :)
