The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan


Goodreads synopsis:
“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.

In this momentous final book in the New York Times best-selling series, the long-awaited prophecy surrounding Percy’s sixteenth birthday unfolds. 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:
Best book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympains series in my personal opinion.  This book starts off where ‘The Battle of the Labyrinth’ left off and everything moved on in an intense pace. This book was filled with excitement on every page and I must say, it was a page turner. Though some points, I just had to skim through because it was bland/ Riordan is a talented author and I am almost always satisfied when I finish the last page of his novels.  It’s such a shame that the series ended because it was just so impressive how the whole plot was thought out. I admire the writing style and how there was a little humor in the story. The book was close to flawless and there’s nothing much I wish to complain about it except for the insipid events. Rating: 8.5/10.
