This Was Dam Good!!

A few months after the events of The Sea of Monsters, during a terrible battle against a Manticore, Annabeth is lost and presumably dead. Afterwards Percy has a dream, and it is revealed that she could still be saved, but at a terrible cost, since someone has to endure the burden of Atlas. A fatal prophecy of the Oracle doesn’t help one bit with their hopes of success. In a desperate quest against time, a group of brave demigods set their way to rescue their missing friend.

This was just EXCELLENT! My favorite of the series. It was wonderful to see Tyson again, however briefly. Loved the introduction of Thalia and everything she brought to the group, Zoe and the Hunters of Artemis. siblings Nico and Bianca. So many new characters, yet each one with very different motives and distinct personalities, not one similar to the other; each one so unique, and lovable in their way. And roguish Percy sneaking his way to assist the quest. The ever danger of losing Annabeth or Percy kept me gripping my seat at all times, the possibility of their doom so near, threatening every turn, had me fearing for my life with each step they made. Unforgettable battles against mythical figures like the Manticore, the Nemean Lion and Talos, among others. Appearances of Artemis, Apollo, Aphrodite, Ares and Athena, among other gods. A terrible final confrontation with loses for both sides, and a painfully bittersweet ending. (view spoiler)

¡El mejor hasta ahora!

Unos meses después de los eventos de El Mar de Monstruos, durante una terrible batalla contra la Mantícora, Annabeth es extraviada y presumiblemente muerta. Luego Percy tiene un sueño, y es revelado que ella todavía podría ser salvada, pero a un enorme costo, ya que alguien tiene que soportar la carga de Atlas. Una fatal profecía del Oráculo no ayuda para nada con sus esperanzas de éxito. En una desesperada misión contra el tiempo, un grupo de valerosos semidioses emprende su camino para rescatar a su amiga perdida.

¡Esto fue simplemente EXCELENTE! Mi favorito de la serie. Fue maravilloso ver a Tyson de nuevo, aunque fuera tan brevemente. Amé la introducción de Thalia y todo lo que trajo al grupo, Zoe y las Cazadoras de Artemisa, los hermanos Nico y Bianca. Tantos nuevos personajes, pero cada uno con diferentes motivos y distintivas personalidades, ninguno similar al otro; cada uno tan único, y querible a su manera. Y rebelde Percy furtivamente tratando de asistir en la misión. El peligro constante de perder a Annabeth o Percy me mantuvo agarrado a mi asiento todo el tiempo, la posibilidad de su perdición tan cercana, amenazada en cada esquina, me hizo temer hasta mi vida por cada paso que tomaban. Inolvidables batallas contra figuras mitológicas como la Mantícora, el León de Nemea y Talos, entre otros. Apariciones de Artemisa, Apolo, Afrodita, Ares y Atenea, entre otros dioses. Una terrible confrontación final con pérdidas para ambos bandos, y un dolorosamente agridulce final. (view spoiler)

A. ¡Oh! Percy Jackson. Usted lee tan rápido que creo que no vi las reseñas anteriores. Una de las mejores amigas de mi hija es muy fan de esta saga (y de las historias mitológicas, en general) y yo aprendo mucho cuando ella habla sobre estos temas. Los jóvenes también tienen muchas cosas que enseñarnos.
Realmente me encantó su reseña, Fede. Por ahí me animo ¿eh?

Muchas gracias Lady A.! Aunque esto lo leí hace casi diez años! Es que recién ahora me estoy tomando el trabajo de reseñar los libros jajja. Riordan es un maestro de la mitología moderna! O al menos eso me pareció con Percy Jackson. Tengo muchas ganas de leer sus otras series!
