Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan

I read the book Battle of the Labyrinth, by Rick Riordan. It is book #4 of the Percy Jackson series. I chose this book because it’s full of action and I read and liked the first 3 books. Percy is the son of the sea god, Poseiden. He is a half-blood. Half human, half god. A half-bloods job is to destroy monsters, save the gods, and stay alive. Most of this happens during quests. Which are missions that normally help the gods. In the Battle of the Labyrinth, Percy’s friend Annabeth get’s her first quest since she first came to camp, seven years ago. Her mission: get to the center of the Labyrinth and talk Daedulus into helping them save the camp from the Titan army. Can she make it to the center before the titans?

A quote from the book is “So many betrayals. I had hoped Quintus would prove a friend. it seems my judgement was bad.” this shows that the half-bloods are struggling to stay together. The age level for this book is anonymus. Kirkus reviews says to ‘look no further for the next Harry Potter. Meet Percy Jackson, as a lot of fans already have.’
