In his third adventure, Percy has to go on a quest to save Annabeth and stop the cursed Titan. With the help of Artemis’ hunters and his friends, Grover and Thalia, he must not only rescue Annabeth, but save the goddess, Artemis as well before Winter Solstiice or all will be lost. Will he succeed?

Although not as good as the original book, this adaptation will appeal to a new audience as well as the old. The characters are true to the originals. The illustrations are a little dark in places, but detailed and fun to look at. The layout of the novel is easy to follow and won’t confuse readers. People who like the Percy Jackson series or who like graphic novels, fantasy, mythology, and adventure will enjoy reading this book.
