4.5
The third instalment in the Percy Jackson series is by far the best one yet.
This series follows a similar formula every book, but this one had some things the other ones didn't.
The flaw I found in previous books was the one dimensional characters, but in this one is was surprised: We start to see the relationship between Percy and Annabeth develop, and I can for sure say this adds so much depth to this two characters, (plus come on they're so freaking cute when they're together)
In The Titan's Curse we finally see a more mature (that doesn't mean less funny) cast of characters, thinking twice before making decisions and about how their actions affect others, cause I was just tired of Percy making stupid desicions without thinking about the consequences.
ARTEMIS' CREW GUYS. I just loved them sososo much, and they added a lot to the story, specially Zoe<3 She was the Annabeth factor when the last one was absent(kind of).
And I hope to discover more about the DiAngelo brothers in the next instalment. I just felt we didn't get enough of them in this book and that's mainly why I'm giving this it 4.5 stars instead of just a full 5 stars.
This one I can say gripped me the most out of the three books I've read so far in the series.
Looking foward to read The Battle of The Labyrinth!
Loved that Iris is a super well-rounded character! her mind doesn't focus solely on a love interest, she has present family, friendship, and career topics. Never expected what this book would be about just by reading the synopsis. It's a super recommend to me!
Be aware that this reads more like a magic realism book for the most part, there aren't a LOT of fantasy elements until the end.
