Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Book Four, The Battle Of the Labyrinth
Posted by gregh2016 in Uncategorized, tags: Book Review, Mythology
In The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson has to navigate through the Labyrinth , find the the Lost God Pan, and stop Kronos, the Titan lord of time, all without dying. He and his friends are on the biggest quest of all time.
In this book of battles and quests I think Rick Riordan should have had more of the Greek Gods involved in the story to make it seem like they were more important. Mr. Riordan could have made a meeting at Camp Half-blood, the camp Percy and other sons and daughters or half-bloods of the Greek Gods go to, to describe the defense against the assault on the camp. I don’t like the idea of just skipping to the battle between Titan’s army and the half-bloods.
I like this book very much because it describes the Labyrinth, one of the most important locations in Greek mythology. I also think the author could have made up another main character to make the story more interesting.
Another thing I like is how Mr. Riordan describes the fights in his books. It makes you almost feel all that Percy feels in his adventures with the gods.

It’s pretty cool how the Percy Jackson books fit right in with our reading of the Greek myths! I like the insights you share in class, Greg, given that you’ve read these books, and I hope others will read them too.
