“Thebattle of the labyrinth” is the fourth book in the “Percy Jackson and theOlympians” series written by Rick Riordan. A series which follows Greekdemi-gods born in our contemporary society; as well as, and how they have to goon quests in order to protect this world from the risen Titans.

Percyis going to start in a new school next year; he goes there to a summerpresentation and finds that Rachel, the girl who could see through the mist hefound on last year’s quest attended to that particular school. But things couldnot get easy, even on a new school monsters had to find him and ruineverything.

Nervousabout the prophecy she was given Annabeth will lead them through and adventurein which they might need help from unexpected people.

“Thebattle of the labyrinth” was a really compelling and fast paced book. So farthis has been my favorite out of the series. I think the kids have grown up alittle and that is noticeable, also it makes it easier for me to connect withthe characters. The adventure was full of mini-adventures in between whichmakes the book really easy to get though. More Greek mythology creatures andgods appear on this book, making noticeable how well the author knows about it.These books take a turn into the Greek mythology, still keeping most of itscharacters intact. I mean Hera, for example appears a couple of times in thisbook and she is this maternal but still avenger goddess, which matches themyths written about her.

Everythingtaking into account, I think Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a series Ishould have started reading sooner, because it is compelling, interesting andfull of adventures.
