Having celebrity parents is a double-edged sword. And when they happen to be temperamental IMMORTAL Greek Gods...it’s a whole new ball game.

Artemis, The Goddess of The Hunt is M.I.A. and Annabeth, Percy’s “good friend” and fellow half-blood is missing AND in grave danger. Two new undetermined and powerful half-bloods, Bianca and Nico di Angelo have made an appearance. Luke and his dastardly plans of resurrecting Kronos are in full swing but now he seems to have an even more chilling ordeal set up for the heroes. Hot headed Thalia (daughter of Zeus), aloof and courageous Zoë Nightshade (the lieutenant of Artemis’s Huntresses), tin-can chewing Grover, Bianca and the long-suffering but utterly brave Percy Jackson are soon off on a new and uncertain quest.

Dealing with bickering quest-mates, rescuing hapless creatures, battling skeletal warriors, trying to stay sane through prophetic nightmares and struggling not to offend the Gods...our good hero does it all.

The Titan’s Curse is a rollercoaster ride loaded with mythological tidbits and the promise of relentless adventure.
As always, Riordan delivers.

I looked nervously at Annabeth, then at the groups of girls who were roaming the gym.
'Well?'Annabeth said.
'Um, who should I ask?'
She punched me in the gut. 'Me, Seaweed Brain.'" 2 comments
06/10 page 12 "She said this the same way she might say 'Fields of Punishment'or 'Hades's gym shorts'."
06/10 page 20 "Dr.Thorn smiled evilly. 'And soon we shall have the most important monster of them all - the one that shall bring about the downfall of Olympus!'
'Okay.' Bianca whispered to me. 'He's completely nuts.'

'We have to jump off the cliff.'I told her quietly. 'Into the sea.'
'Oh, super idea. You're completely nuts too.'" 2 comments

06/11 page 100 "My mother pursed her lips. 'I'm telling you that...you're getting too old for me to tell you what to do. I'm telling you that I'll support you, even if what you decide to do is dangerous. I can't believe I'm saying this.'

'Mom-'
'Percy, whatever you decide, I love you. And I know you'll do what's best for Annabeth.'
'How can you be sure?'
'Because she'd do the same for you.'"

06/11 page 127 "'- We will be unstoppable. Behold, my ultimate killing machines.'
The soil erupted. I stepped back nervously.
In each spot where a tooth had been planted, a creature was struggling out of the dirt.
The first of them said:


'Mew?'"
06/12 page 159 "Thalia charged the second skeleton.
Zoe and Bianca started firing arrows at the third and fourth.
Grover stood there and held his hands out to the trees, looking like he wanted to hug them."
06/12 page 200 "'There is always a way out for those clever enough to find it.'"
06/13 page 202 "Maybe I could manipulate the Mist.
I concentrated hard and snapped my fingers. 'You don't see a sword,' I told the girl. 'It's just a ballpoint pen.'

She blinked. 'Um...no. It's a sword, weirdo.'" 4 comments
06/13 page 261 "'It's my fault,'Thalia said, blinking hard. 'You were right about Luke, about heroes, men - everything.'
'Perhaps not all men,' Zoë murmured.'Do you still have the sword, Percy?'

I couldn't speak, but I brought out Riptide and put the pen in her hand. She grasped it contentedly. 'You spoke the truth, Percy Jackson. You are nothing like Hercules. I am honoured that you carry this sword.'"
06/14 page 281 "'Your fatal flaw is personal loyalty, Percy. You do not know when it's time to cut your losses. To save a friend, you would sacrifice the world.
In a hero of the prophecy, that is very, very dangerous.'"

Thanks, Basuhi :) I am enjoying the whole re-read doubly so because I'm sharing all the brilliant moments with a fellow half-blood :)
