“The titan’s curse”is the third book in the “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series written byRick Riordan. The series follows Percy a half-blood or demi-god, son ofPoseidon and a human woman, as he finds out his true self.
Percy, Annabeth and Talia are called by Grover who has founded twohalf-blooded kids. They were supposed to help him taken them to half-bloodcamp, where they will discover their true selves. However, as they were goingto take them they got attacked by one of the teachers at the school who was amanticore.  During the fight the huntersand Artemisia herself appeared to help them, nonetheless the manticore tokeAnnabeth with him and Artemisia left her hunters and the kids in her BrotherApollo’s hands as she went fight a monster.
Once at camp, ---- decided to join the hunters and a new quest was givenby the oracle. Percy was not in the quest this time, never the less, he couldnot stay away from this quest, and he felt the need to go save Annabeth.Therefore, he followed the hunters, Talia and Grover on the quest.

“The titan’s curse”was a really good nail-biting book. I think I am liking the series a littlemore with each book I read, and that makes me regret that these books were notavailable when I was a kid here in Spain, because I am sure I would haveenjoyed them much more. The books are really well written and you can see thereis a lot of research on mythology in order to write the books. Each creaturethat appears in the books is not a creation of the author, it exist indeed inthe Greek mythology. Apart from that there are elusions to different parts ofthe mythology not only the related to the Olympus gods.
To conclude I wouldlike to recommend this series so far to anyone, but specially this would be agood present for everyone in the ages of 14 or so. It is full of adventure andentertainment.

I have enjoyed most of this books, however the last two, Seeker and Origins, change the point of view and I have not been able to click with them as I was able to so with the other ones. As for the November TBR, I want to still finish this series, reading the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth books in the series, Eclipse, Reckoning, Full Circle and Night Child. Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...
