⚠️WARNING!!! SPOILERS⚠️ This is probably my favorite book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. It is full of action, drama, and totally EPIC battles. One of my favorite moments was when Rachel (Percy’s mortal friend from New York) whacks Kronos in the eye with her hairbrush. I mean, that takes really good aim to be able to do that. The fact that Quintus ended up being Deadelus?! Blew. My. MIND. I loved The Battle of the Labyrinth, and I hope you do too!!!

This Percy Jackson book was not the best one. I mean you walk through a maze, turn a corner, fight a monster, and then that basically the whole book.
This summer,the Camp Half-Blood campers discover an entrance to the Labyrinth, an ever-growing maze that is under many cities, in their camp. If Kronos's army finds out and has a way to navigate in it without dying in its many traps,they will easily invade camp. To stop them,a quest lead by Annabeth has to find Ariadne's string,which is the only to safely navigate the maze. The string may be in Daedalus's office, at the very middle of the maze. Will they get it before Luke? I really loved this book!

I think this book is super! Full of action and drama! The characters are brave in the book. Anyone who dares to fight Cronus, lord of time, is brave to me.
The Battle of Labyrinth is super fun. You get surprises and excitement from reading! You definitely would enjoy it if you have read the PJO series.
I only read this book because I wanted to finish the Percy Jackson series even though I didn't like it very much. Out of all the books in the series, I thought this one was the most creative. The idea of a big maze underground was pretty cool, and I liked that they included the mortal girl in the end as the key to getting through the maze. There was a lot of mystery in this book, because not every body was how they seemed and there were some characters that seemed unimportant but, in the end, they were key parts in the resolution of the story. In this particular addition to the series, Percy has to go on another quest (you guessed it) but this time he is not leading it, Annabeth is. They have to go into the underground labyrinth to try and stop Luke from finding a way to navigate it, and the crew faces many obstacles along the way. They meet many different creatures, find unexpected challenges, fight monsters, and are surprised to learn that characters you would have least expected to be important rise to the occasion and save the not-so-perfect half-bloods. Even though the Percy Jackson series did not live up to what I expected it to be, the fourth book was so far the best because it had deeper meanings behind the generic plot line that so many books are based off of. This book would be a good read for elementary to middle schoolers who enjoy fantasy.
Percy, Annabeth, and Grover have to go into the labyrinth and save Nico de Angelo, who is the brother of Bianca de Angelo.
With fast-paced plot movement and nonstop laughs Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Battle of the Labyrinth was a great read. ~ Xeta <3
