Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book Four the Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book Four) Paperback – 7 April 2009

4.5 starsThe story took a riveting turn after...Well that would spoil the fun won't it?Rick Riordan has done a bountiful job giving the Theseus story a good modern day twist. I won't be doing it any favours if I gave up spoilers regarding the story honestly. But some chunks of the story deserve glorifying. The story is the sequel to the first 3 books of the series, which involves monsters, underground mazes, a lot of Greek mythological monstrous mayhems and unduly adulterated godly mumbo jumbo. But seriously speaking, this book is really interesting when Rick decides to include the modern human element in ancient mythology.The story :- Percy is a demigod, whose father is the Earth shaker God Poseidon. He has to defend Camp Half Blood from the massive forces of the Titan Kronos who's hell bent on destroying Olympus and everything that's related to The New World. Now, alone the demigods can't defend everything, so they are trying to get as many followers amassed under the Olympian banners as possible. They are pursuing the Greek architect Daedalus who created the labyrinth for Minos, King of Crete; so as to stop any invasion possible from Mount Tam, the obsidian palace of Kronos. Whether they succeed in their operations, or fail miserably, what lies ahead of them (Olympians), only time will tell.The story doesn't end here, it gives birth to further interesting plot and perhaps the endgame of the series. But there are more things to consider than can be thought of in a 5 min read.The Good :- The plot is a well oiled machinery, yes I used the word machinery, because before I read this, how many mechanical engineering books were required to be digested in order to write it, I don't know. Honestly, since I read its predecessors, so I enjoyed very very much. The story has a gripping effect on the reader, as if telling telling him/her to turn another page before closing it.The Bad :- The story might feel a bit rusty at times, by rusty I mean a similar pattern how the Olympian series has been going on so far. My goal was to bring forward the good in the book without criticising it, which I think I have done to the best of my abilities.Now, who is supposed to read this book ?I feel anyone who's familiar with Greek mythology and want a lighter approach towards and wants a book for recreation, he/she will find this book entertaining. I recommend this middle-school fantasy book to any new fantasy reader.Hope you enjoy reading this book.Thanks for reading my review 😊

Awesome

Best Mythological book. I bought it as a whole set like buying a single book for every part(I don't know if you understood that🥲) The book quality is 💯. Worth buying for 1228 rupees (it's because I bought it as a whole set)and don't buy the whole set for 1391 . Buy it as a single book

The media could not be loaded. For readersAmazing plot , amazing percabeth ship , sad parts too and great sense of humourFor collectorsSpine doesn't crack, attractive cover page , same height as other books ,looks good in collectionThe only thing which i didn't like was it was focusing so much on percy even tho it was annabeths quest like God were more interested in him but still it was a 10
