Percy Jackson, aka Poseidon’s son, has a knack for trouble. His best friend Grover, a satyr, has a link with Percy. When Percy is sent a distressed message from Grover about two half-bloods, Percy has to go help him, along with Thalia, a daughter of Zeus. When trying to help Grover, they come across the goddess Artemis. She is the leader of a group of girls who have forsworn men and only hunt. While Artemis alone follows the bane of Olympus, the rest of the hunters must follow Percy and the new half-bloods to Camp. The hunters don’t like to be around men at all so it proves difficult to share a ride with the god Apollo himself back to camp. Thalia has become a friend to Percy as well. Thalia was the daughter of Zeus who instead of saving herself, she kept the monsters from Luke and Annabeth, which she wasn’t going to survive. When Zeus noticed that she wasn’t going to make it, he turned her into a tree to help strengthen the wards of the Camp. After the Fleece took the poison away, she was laying alone beside it and the tree was back to its prime.

As the Huntress Zoe is given a quest to find where Artemis is being held captive, all Percy wants to do is figure out if his dreams mean that Annabeth is in trouble or what. He has to find out. When Zoe leaves on the quest and takes one of the new half-bloods, Bianca, with her (who took the vow to become a huntress before Artemis left on her hunt ), Percy decides to eavesdrop. While checking out things, Percy notices Nico, Bianca’s little brother, and promises that he will watch out for Bianca when they’re gone. Of course that is one tall order to fill and even taller if not fulfilled.

Go on another adventure with Percy Jackson and the half-bloods as they, yet again, attempt to save the world with the help of the gods and not so much help from the gods.

These characters really intrigued me from the start. I enjoy reading the entire series. As I mentioned before I picked up a mythology book so I could keep up but that isn’t entirely true. I wanted to delve further into Greek Mythology since it interested me so much. I thought that The Sea of Monsters was my favorite out of this series until I read this one. The Titan’s Curse has so many twists in it that you don’t know what is going to happen. Really a great read.
