With non-stop adventure and action, the final installment of the Percy Jackson and the Olympian series will not disappoint. The book is one epic battle that takes place in the streets of Manhattan and nothing less then the whole of Western civilization hangs in the balance. With a love triangle brewing between Percy, Annabeth and Rachel Dare, an army of demonic creatures and the Gods busy fighting the war away from home, the teen heroes of Camp Half-Blood are left to defend Mt. Olympus and prove their worth to their immortal parents.

Those who love fantasy, adventure and friendship will enjoy this beautifully written series. The last book in the series also leaves with a new prophecy and the hope of many new adventures from this talented author.
