The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was probably by far the best in the series. In this book, Percy and his friends go after two new Half-bloods who are in grave danger. They fight a manticore and someone who calls himself "The General" of the tightens. We meet Artemis and Apollo, twins, Goddess of the Dawn who is also a Huntress and God of the Sun who drive's the most awesome chariots.
We find out more about Atlas, the man who held up the sky. And Pan, the God of nature. And we alos meet Aphrodite, Goddess of Love. I just love the way the Greek mythology is thrown in here. And how the Mount Olympus moves with Western Civilization. This is seriously not your textbook greek mythology.
Also, in the first books, it talks about how the Big Three Gods take an Oath never to have children with mortals after WWII. It just so happens that none of them kept they're word. So they say.
I really like how Riordan is turning Percy Jackson into quite the hero but allows him flaws and create's him to realize that even the best can fall.
