I may write drafts here.

= The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson Series) = The Last Olympian is the fifth book in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series. It is the series finale and fifth book overall in the Percy Jackson universe.

Why It's Wonderful

 * 1) It gets into the action fast. After the scene with Percy and Rachel talking, Blackjack comes and retrieves Percy to go on with a plan. Much of the book's first chapters is with Percy Jackson and Charles Beckendorf sneaking aboard the Andromeda, which is a ship holding much of Kronos' army. Already the stakes are high.
 * 2) The book contains quite a few tear-jerking character deaths. It's sad to read of such beloved characters dying, but they are executed well, provoked the right response, and they influenced some characters' choices.
 * 3) The humor is still grand in this installment; even though the world could end because of Kronos there are funny moments such as Percy yelling the following: "Daedalus 23, kill flying pigs!"
