Will they survive in this mind twisting maze read the book to find out. This time Percy and Annebeth another demigod, Grover a satyr, and Tyson a cyclops must venture into the labyrinth created by the amazing inventor Dadaleus (I don't think i spelled this one right too). I loved this book alot. It's about Percy Jackson a demigod the son of one of the three most powerful Greek God, Poisoden (I don't think I spelled it right).
Riordan also does a good job of mixing humor with scary and sometimes sad moments. Riordan continues to tweak mythology (an encounter with the Sphinx is hilarious) and make it his own. There is a wonderful sense of humor throughout the book that makes it fun to read (a perfect example is what Nico does to raise the dead).
Now Percy and his friends have to navigate the Labyrinth to get to Daedalus's workshop before their arch enemy Luke does and convince Daedalus to help them and not Luke. Riordan has great fun with the Labyrinth - a scary place that takes the children to historical places with the typical Riordan twist. The war between the Olympians and the evil Titan Lord Kronos is drawing near and even Camp Half-Blood isn't safe as the enemy has found a way into camp through The Labyrinth.
Riordan also has fun expanding on the Daedalus myth and adds some surprises to that plot line that readers won't see coming. The books in the series get darker as the series moves along and this book is a reminder that in any war, even one involving mythological characters, there will be casualties."The Battle of the Labyrinth" is the great fourth book in a wonderful fantasy series aimed at children but enjoyable for readers of all ages.The first three books in the series are:The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 1)The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 2)The Titan's Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 3)Enjoy. Grover comes along on the journey to help but he has another goal as well - this is his last chance to find Pan.
The journey through the Labyrinth is a hazardous one, taking them into unexpected places and filled with more than one surprise."The Battle of the Labyrinth" is the fourth (and one of the best) books in Rick Riordan's wonderfully inventive Percy Jackson and the Olympians children's fantasy series.
It made me want to learn more about Greek mythology. Loved the entire series and have now read it more than once.
This one takes them into the underground - through Daedalus' labyrinth: an ever-changing, magical place with new monsters and terrors galore. I had more questions than ever when I finished the book, and I'm going to order The Last Olympian NOW. Riordan's fourth book in the series is amazing. What's happening to Luke will amaze you. Be sure to read this one - it's one of the best. It is as fresh and exciting as the first book. Percy, Annabeth, Tyson, and Grover begin another quest.
These books are definately worth your leasure hours. I'm on my last of the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. He writes a killer series.
