Percy Jackson & The Last Olympians


This book is the last chapter in the Percy Jackson series. I thought that this chapter revolves more of a battleground scene as Percy and Kronus fight in the war of wars to see who the last olympian! Percy Jackson his friends, and the Olympians, fight in a war resembling the original war between the Greek gods and the Titans. Prometheus notes during a parley between him and Percy, that the battle for Manhattan is like the Battle of Troy, except that now Olympus is Troy.He finds that he is in his father Poseidon's underwater palace, which is under siege by the forces of the Titan Oceanus. Percy wants to stay and help fight with his father, but he sends Percy back to Camp Half Blood. Before the battle starts, New York City is silenced by way of a powerful sleeping spell from Morpheus, god of dreams. Percy and Kronos battle in the throne room of Olympus, without either side gaining a significant advantage. Luke is shocked back into his normal self when Annabeth helps him remember his promise of family to Annabeth, as he brutally smashes her across the throne room. Luke stabs himself at his mortal point as Kronos struggles to reassert control, becoming the hero of the prophecy and ending the war on the dawn of Percy's 16th birthday.With Poseidon ambushing Typhon at the Hudson River, the Olympians manage to send the demon down to Tartarus. Returning to the throne room, they grant Percy, Grover, Annabeth, Thalia, and Tyson rewards at the conclusion of their various quests. At camp, new cabins are built for every god, including Hades and all the minor gods. This is a very emotion finale as the relationship between Percy and Annabeth build deepenly and i think this is a suitable conclusion for an amazing series of Percy Jackson.
