SUMMARY
Percy is a 14-year-old who is ready to begin a school year at a new school.
He is on his orientation tour when disaster strikes and monsters attack. This
is the beginning of a summer during which Percy has to head down into the
Labyrinth with some of his closest friends in order to save the world. After his orientation, Percy heads to Camp Half-Blood where he learns about the Labyrinth. The maze was designed by Daedalus and according to Greek mythology, is part of King Minos' palace in Crete. Annabeth is intrigued by the Labyrinth and discovers that she is about to lead a quest and it involves passage through the Labyrinth.
Percy discovers that Luke is on his own quest for revenge and plans to use the Labyrinth to enter the heart of camp to destroy it. He finds an entrance with Annabeth to the Labyrinth and descend into it so they can stop Luke and his army. Their goal is to find Daedalus, which is an extremely difficult task since the Labyrinth continuously changes and grows on its own. It causes madness, which frequently leads to death.
He also lands on the island Ogygia where the immortal daughter of the Titan Atlas,Calypso lives.
Even though it's Annabeth's quest, the answer to getting through the Labyrinth lies in Percy. He realizes that they have to enlist the help of a mortal named Rachel. She has the unique ability to see through the Mist. While others struggle to choose between paths in the Labyrinth, she can see the correct route clearly. They eventually reach Daedalus, but he is hesitant to help them.
Luke finds Adriane's string, which leads his army out of the Labyrinth into Camp Half-Blood. Grover himself has a task to find Pan before he loses his job as a satyr.
PERSONAL REVIEWS
This is yet again an amazing part in the series of Percy Jackson. The book again deals with a lot of drama, action, cliff hangers and a lot of fun. I am really glad Rick has added a new character in the book and introduced a new Oracle, the previous one was so old man! I don’t know there is nothing in the book that one can criticize or hate.
Definitely 5 stars for Rick’s another book again.
