Final Thoughts

The ending to this book was pretty good the author decided to throw in one last twist that leads into the next book. Near the end of the book when Percy returns back to Half-Blood camp and is faced with another decission, whether he is going to stay at the camp or go home and live with his mom. Percy had only a couple of days to decide what he was goin to do, Percy was so stressed about the decission he had to make, he just wanted to clear his head so he went down to the sword fighting area. When he got down there Luke was already practicing, Luke asked Percy if he wanted to go into the forest and see if they could find some real monster to fight, when they got out into the forest Luke started to tell Percy about how he believed that the gods were living in the past, in there glory days and how they were trying to relive those days by sending hero's on similar quests. Luke was angry that he was sent on a quest knowing that a hero already completed the quest, Percy started to catch on were Luke was going with this story so he cut in told Luke that he knew that it was him who stole Zeus's master bolt and Hades helm of darkness. Luke wasn't suprised that Percy caught on so he used magic and summoned a pit scorpion (a pit scorpion is extremely posionous and can kill you within two minutes) the scorpion crawled up Percy's leg and stung him. Luke left Percy in the forest and dissapeared, Percy walked out of the forest as far as he could then droped to his knees. Annabeth noticed Percy and rushed over, Percy was passed out by the time she arrived.

A soon as Percy woak up he went to go talk to Chronos about Luke, the book ends with Chronos telling Percy that Zeus has closed the discussion on any matter that deals with Luke or gods changing sides.

Overall I enjoyed the book and I would recommend this book to anybody between the age 12-18 an for anybody who likes Greek mythology and adventure.
