‘The Battle of the Labyrinth’ has been an obvious favourite so far for me. It had so much more depth, character development and plot line than the prior three Percy Jackson books and the setting in Daedalus’ labyrinth as Percy and his friends are forced to face it in order to prevent a monster invasion of Camp Half Blood allowed Riordan to introduce so many locations and monsters. Not to mention that despite what I would regard a slightly weak cliffhanger ending going into the final book the general plot line set up so well for a really climatic finale. I especially enjoyed Grover’s journey in this book and thought it seems to be an ability that has just come from nowhere his magic pipes are so fun. It’s all swords and violence and then he is just playing his wind pipes its wonderful. 

The ten week wait on my hold for ‘The Last Olympian’ is however now going to drive me insane.
