Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book Four the Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book Four)

4.5 stars The story took a riveting turn after... Well that would spoil the fun won't it? Rick Riordan has done a bountiful job giving the Theseus story a good modern day twist. I won't be doing it any favours if I gave up spoilers regarding the story honestly. But some chunks of the story deserve glorifying. The story is the sequel to the first 3 books of the series, which involves monsters, underground mazes, a lot of Greek mythological monstrous mayhems and unduly adulterated godly mumbo jumbo. But seriously speaking, this book is really interesting when Rick decides to include the modern human element in ancient mythology. The story :- Percy is a demigod, whose father is the Earth shaker God Poseidon. He has to defend Camp Half Blood from the massive forces of the Titan Kronos who's hell bent on destroying Olympus and everything that's related to The New World. Now, alone the demigods can't defend everything, so they are trying to get as many followers amassed under the Olympian banners as possible. They are pursuing the Greek architect Daedalus who created the labyrinth for Minos, King of Crete; so as to stop any invasion possible from Mount Tam, the obsidian palace of Kronos. Whether they succeed in their operations, or fail miserably, what lies ahead of them (Olympians), only time will tell. The story doesn't end here, it gives birth to further interesting plot and perhaps the endgame of the series. But there are more things to consider than can be thought of in a 5 min read. The Good :- The plot is a well oiled machinery, yes I used the word machinery, because before I read this, how many mechanical engineering books were required to be digested in order to write it, I don't know. Honestly, since I read its predecessors, so I enjoyed very very much. The story has a gripping effect on the reader, as if telling telling him/her to turn another page before closing it. The Bad :- The story might feel a bit rusty at times, by rusty I mean a similar pattern how the Olympian series has been going on so far. My goal was to bring forward the good in the book without criticising it, which I think I have done to the best of my abilities. Now, who is supposed to read this book ? I feel anyone who's familiar with Greek mythology and want a lighter approach towards and wants a book for recreation, he/she will find this book entertaining. I recommend this middle-school fantasy book to any new fantasy reader. Hope you enjoy reading this book. Thanks for reading my review 😊

Nice quality Really good story

Such a good one

For readers Amazing plot , amazing percabeth ship , sad parts too and great sense of humour For collectors Spine doesn't crack, attractive cover page , same height as other books ,looks good in collection The only thing which i didn't like was it was focusing so much on percy even tho it was annabeths quest like God were more interested in him but still it was a 10

Awesome

Best Mythological book. I bought it as a whole set like buying a single book for every part(I don't know if you understood that🥲) The book quality is 💯. Worth buying for 1228 rupees (it's because I bought it as a whole set)and don't buy the whole set for 1391 . Buy it as a single book

Quality book

This book is a roller coaster. Unlike the previous book 3 (The Titan's Curse) where you were introduced to a number of characters, in this one you'll observe that approximately in every page you'll have monsters of every type you could ever imagine. It's basically based on this maze called Labyrinth and the most interesting part is that from neutral people to gods to monsters and of course Percy and his companions are all stuck inside this necessary maze. Also in the Titan's Curse we had suspense left on the character of Nico di Angelo, you'll see character development on that as well and how he becomes one of the main character. An awesome book to read indeed. Frankly could not have found any mistakes in this one. Hope you find this helpful and the book wonderful!

Fantastic if you like the books that comes before it.

Yes. Good book. Very very good book. Interesting indeed. Yes yes very good. Quite the literature feat if you ask me.( I promise you I’m a human being)

A edição é muito bonita, a arte da capa principalmente, mas folhas possuem qualidade muito abaixo do que era a primeira versão dos livros, de 2005-2009. Parecem facilmente rasgáveis se não tomar muito cuidado, e a impressão também deixa a desejar em algumas páginas, tendo diferenças de intensidade que podem incomodar o leitor. Já a história, com a qual sou bem familiar, é muito boa. Divertida, astuta, com ação no ponto, e a escrita do Rick Riordan é bem fluida e exelente para o público infanto-juvenil. Eu, 25 anos e fã da saga, também estou me divertindo ao reler. História: 10/10 Qualidade da edição: 5/10 Arte de capa: 10/10

BUENA CALIDAD. SATISFACTORIO.

My son loves this book
