The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 3) Reviews

Percy Jackson's best friend Annabeth has been kidnapped and with a little prodding from Aphrodite, he's beginning to realise his deeper feelings for her. Meanwhile, Artemis, goddess of the hunt has also been kidnapped and then forced into a burdensome situation, pun intended. The hunters and the inhabitants of Camp Half Blood join forces and to rescue them both.

Finally, Rick Riordan breaks free of the J K Rowling comparisons with this book and the series acquires an unique identity of it's own. Lots more characters of Greek Mythology pop up on the way, adding to the great number we've already encountered in the first two books. In this third book, Rick Riordan is getting increasingly deft in using them for plot material as well as building up their characters. Combine that with the fast paced story and this book is a very enjoyable read.
