Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters

ByDawn

Disclaimer: In Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters, they use the term “gods” as a swear word, but since they specifically refer to the Greek gods, I did not feel it fell under the category of a swear word for my grading system.

If you’ve read my review on Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, there might be some similar ideas here, so sorry. That being said, I LOVE Percy Jackson. His character is so fun and exciting to watch grow up. This book is friendly for all ages, and I highly recommend reading it with or to your kids. Or just read it for yourself.

The Sea of Monsters is the second of five in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. A quick synopsis: Someone poisons the tree guarding the camp all the half-bloods (demi-gods) attend. In order to save it, they have to find the golden fleece. Hence, the adventures begin, and shenanigans ensue.

There is really no romance in this book, but the idea of romance is touched upon. There is a tad more violence in this book than in the last. However, Rick Riordan describes that violence in a way that is more humorous than graphic. As for swearing, I didn’t notice any besides what I mention in the disclaimer above.

If you like Greek mythology at all, I cannot recommend these books enough. Seriously, if you can’t buy it, get it from the library. It will be worth it.

    I liked Fablehaven. I did not love it. It was fine. Don’t get me wrong; it had a lot of interesting ideas. I loved the idea of having preserves for magical creatures so they didn’t go extinct. I loved the idea that there are extremists who want to let chaos into the world and have…

    If you missed part one, find it here. The leaves crunched beneath her feet as Lady Terra walked through the forest. She paused when she reached its end. Her brows furrowed as she examined the scene before her. The town had grown into a city, and the forest had shrunk. Despite the difference, Lady Terra continued…

  • Otherwise Engaged

    ByDawn

    If you like Regency-era romances, then you’ll probably like Otherwise Engaged. Like many Jane Austen-style books, this is a love story. There is no violence, and no use of current swear words. However, it is entirely dedicated to the romance between the main characters.
