The Titan's Curse

4.7

This maybe not the best book in the entire series, at least it lived up to my expectations and the quality of the story is greatly improving after every sequel, thus my rating is improving as well. This book is very addictive and it always leaves me at the edge of my seat after every chapter.

This is the first book where we get to know more of Thalia's character, after being resurrected in the previous book which is The Sea of Monsters. Percy and his gang, including Thalia, started off well during the first few chapters but as usual things quickly started to fall which led them in another trap. Thalia and Percy were the ones to save the world, and Annabeth. AND AGAIN AS USUAL, they must do it in a very limited amount of time because of another possible dooms day and the winter solstice.

With Riordan's terrific humor and innovation on Greek mythology, this book kept me attached to the story just like The Lightning Thief and The Sea of Monsters. Before reading this book, I suggest you to read the first two books because it can get very confusing sometimes and it lacks character and plot introductions. Some questions were answered just like how Thalia and Percy would get along. The Titan's Curse also gave me possible hints on what the next two books will be about (there are 5 books in the series). For sure, you would get excited to read the remaining books because it will surely introduce new quests/adventures until it leads us to the finale.

In general, Rick Riordan never failed me again with such a great middle book. It maintained its right pace and intensity throughout the story. The characters are lively as always, often giving you a great laugh and a roller coaster ride of emotions. I suggest everyone to read this and the entire series if you're in for an awesome adventure!
