"All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of 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.

And as the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate."

Review:

Reading with Luigi gives The Last Olympian a




5/5 Books!

To be honest, I have read the book many months ago, but everytime a remember the scenes and the characters that stayed with me I always think that I should give it a review and share it with you guys!

The cover also placed a great impact of the excellency of the book. It brought back and gave the readers the Percy-is-the-hero feeling.

I absolutely loved the book! If you haven't read it! You SHOULD! Riordan wrote the book perfectly!

The Last Olympian have made me realize many things. The book showed me the importance of family and friends. This made me realize the true meaning of bravery - accepting that sometimes, you are not the hero. 

This a good read!

SPOILER SECTION! I REPEAT SPOILER SECTION

Percy's bravery in accepting that the hero that will save Olympus and probably the world is not him but Luke is the scene or chapter that touched me the most. I can't and will never forget that! I cried in deaths especially Selena's death. I just can't. I can't. Even tho she pretended to be Clarisse, I think she deserves to live. I also admire Luke that he was able to stop Kronos. I loved the wars and the mention in Poseidon's kingdom underwater! I also love it on how Uncle Rick introduced new charaters to join Kronos' army! and how the world was asleep when the war happened! Brilliant!

Happy Weekend Guys!!
