The Battle of The Labyrinth

The Battle of The Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and The Olympians #4) by Rick Riordan

As much as I love this one, I still prefer the previous book. The world-building and writing just keep getting better. Annabeth finally gets her dream and leads this quest into the Labyrinth to hunt for Deadelas (not sure I spelled that well).

Annabeth was a bitch almost throughout the book. I just do not get her loyalty to Luke despite everything, and I wonder why Percy even puts up with that. I so did not know about this before

‘Percy, you know how Athena was born?’
‘She sprang from the head of Zeus in full battle armour or something.’
‘Exactly. She wasn’t born in the normal way. She was literally born from thoughts. Her children are born the same way. When Athena falls in love with a mortal man, it’s purely intellectual, the way she loved Odysseus in the old stories. It’s a meeting of minds. She would tell you that’s the purest kind of love.’

Tyson is also in this, and I so love the big guy. His loyalty to his brother and friends is so admirable. He and Grover finally got along in this.

‘Percy!’ he bellowed. He dropped his broom and ran at me. If you’ve never been charged by an enthusiastic Cyclops wearing a flowered apron and rubber cleaning gloves, I’m telling you, it’ll wake you up quick.

Nico was an ass at first. I get that he was grieving and all, not to mention just a kid, but he got over that. I really admire his character development.

Percy was as funny, loyal, loving, dedicated as usual. I just need my own Percy
