Percy Jackson isn't expecting freshman orientation to be any fun, but when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears, pursued by demon cheerleaders, things quickly go from bad to worse. Time is running out for Percy. War between the gods and the Titans is drawing near. Even Camp Half-Blood isn't safe, as Kronos's army prepares to invade its once impenetrable borders. To stop them, Percy and his friends must set out on a quest through the Labyrinth -- a sprawling underground world with surprises and danger at every turn. Along the way Percy will confront powerful enemies, find out the truth about the lost god Pan, and face the Titan lord Kronos's most terrible secret. The final war begins . . . with the Battle of the Labyrinth. - Publisher.

A kind of return to the classic quests and mostly historical setting of the series following the dark third entry. Whereas the last book was quite focused in its plot, this one had a few storylines running concurrently, diverging and converging whenever appropriate. Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Tyson, Nico, Clarisse, the other campers and supporting Gods each have their own journeys. However instead of a mess, Riordan weaves a mesmerising story that's all about an individual's deeds and the impacts created by them. In a way that reminds me of the Avengers movies, there's something satisfying about seeing these characters after short periods of time and witnessing their interactions and growth, especially now the reader is really attached to them. Teenage romance was also a theme of this book, but didn't overtake the story and development which I appreciated. As usual, the humour was great, and the mystery really led to a “smack-yourself-in-the-forehead” kind of revelation which was entertaining. And I will never forget that cliffhanger ending for the finale.
YAssssss, so much action! And Nico being a little shit at first, but that's totally understandable after what happened in the Titan's curse. I love Nico's character anyway, so it is always a pleasure to see his character in the book.
This book is fast paced and it has a LOT of build up towards the final book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. So many things are happening all at once.
I love that we get to know Rachel Dare better and better, she's a great character and I'm happy to see more of her again :)
I LOVED this book, obviously. I absolutely adored the demigods in this one. Their friendship is growing with each book and I mean, their group is the definition of Friendship goals. (at least, for as long as this series continues, lol)
Obviously, I loved this! It is just AMAZING! I'm soo happy I found this series. I'll read the rest, of course! This one was darker I guess and more things happened. Annabeth was kinda annoying in this one. I liked Rachel. The gang was together again with Tyson and Grover. I just loved everything, it's a MASTERPIECE! I mean, seriously if you still haven't read any RR and/or PJO books, go read it now!!!
