Percy Jackson and the Titan’s Curse

ByDawn

Disclaimer: In Percy Jackson and the Titan’s Curse, they use the term “gods” as a swear word. However, 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.

Book three of Percy Jackson, YAY! Let me tell you, I liked Annabeth before, but it is this book, The Titan’s Curse, that made me love her. Basically, monsters capture Annabeth and force her to hold up the world so Atlas (the Titan) can go free. A captured Artemis chooses to take that burden from Annabeth. All the other characters spend most of the book trying to find Artemis and Annabeth. As they do this, shenanigans ensue as they should in any good book. It can’t be easy for our heroes.

This book does a lot to show the iron will Annabeth has. She held up the sky that a Titan strains to hold. Sure she took a lot of damage, but she did it, and she didn’t let the experience change the core of who she is.

This book also deals with themes of being willing to sacrifice for those you love and dealing with the loss of loved ones. Understanding those themes help people relate and empathize with others. Learning these ideas through characters in a book is a great gift.

Overall, I think this book is excellent for all ages. However, with each passing book in this series, more conflicts are dealt with by violence. None of it is graphic or excessive, but the violence section is getting closer to being rated a B. However, it’s not there yet.

If you would like to buy this book, find it here.

    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…

    Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry

      I swear Lois Lowry is going to kill me with these cliffhangers. Gathering Blue has an even worse cliffhanger than The Giver did. If this series needed more books written, I’d go insane waiting. I mean, I’ve read books that clarify there is more to come before, but never like this. These books seem…

  • Otherwise Engaged

    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.
