In this book, all of the pieces from the earlier books come together in an epic battle between the Titans and the Olympians. Although strength and prowess play a role in the battles, the true heroes are successful because they are able to persevere, see the good in one another, and join together to fight for their cause.
I was intrigued by Prometheus. He was an interesting character and I am still not sure if he was trying to help or hurt Percy. I loved the way Prometheus gave Pandora's Box to Percy to test Percy's view of humanity and hope. I would love to read more about Prometheus in other books.
Although the characters are growing up, they still kept the internal qualities that I loved about them. I enjoyed the ending of the book because each character was given an ending that he/she deserved. No one was overlooked or pushed to the side in a quick ending.
I loved the way all of the human characters were given redemption, even though they had turned to the dark side. It was an uplifting view that all of us make mistakes, but all of us can redeem ourselves and make a difference in the end.
Rick Riordan is an amazing writer. I love his characters, his creativity in creating a world unlike anywhere else I have ever been, his humor, and his uplifting view of the heroic qualities in all of us. I am a better person for having read his books.
