All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of a victory are grim. Kronos’s army is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil Titan’s power only grows. While the Olympians struggle to contain the rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Now it’s up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time.
An amazing conclusion to an amazing series. The Last Olympian has to be, by far, the best installment in the series! It was non-stop action all the way, and even where there wasn't any action, I was still so absorbed in the story because every little detail counted and I just wanted to soak it all in.
New gods were still being introduced and the twists and the turns in the story!!! It made for really exciting reading and I just couldn't put the book down. The climax of the story really came as a surprise because I had no see it coming at all, and I was blown away. I was a little apprehensive that the ending would be a "all ends well" sort of deal and while it kinda is, it makes sense due to earlier developments in the story. There were a lot of sacrifices made, so one cannot say that the victory was an easy one.
Epic finale! I don't really know if I wanna read The Lost Hero, mostly because I don't know if it's going to be able to live up to my expectations. Still, the Percy Jackson series was a very well-written one and I'm glad I was with Percy the whole way. :)

The Lost Hero is even more epic than the PJO series. Don't worry. And finally you've finished this series (:
