Summary

YOU CAN’T TELL BY LOOKING AT ME THAT MY DAD IS POSEIDON, GOD OF THE SEA.

It’s not easy being a half-blood these days. Even a simple game of dodgeball becomes a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants – and that was only the beginning.

Now Camp Half-Blood is under attack and, unless I can get my hands of the Golden Fleece, the whole camp will be invaded by monsters. Big ones…

Review

I liked the re-read of this book.

In this book, a lot of myths are explained as Annabeth and Percy meet them. I like how they impact on the lives of everyone in the book even for the mundane world.

I like that we learn more about how the security of the camp is essential. The campers act more like adults than the adults in this book; it’s at the same time exasperating and expected (reminder: it’s Mister D who supervised everything.)

You discover a new character, Tyson. I liked him a lot. Also, he is essential as he helps Annabeth to evolve and fights some of her prejudice.

This book is shorter than the first one, but a lot happens at a fast pace.

I cannot wait to continue.

Liz.
