Have you ever read a book that had mythical creatures and adventure and more? If you did then you heard of the Last Olympian, the last book of the Percy Jackson series, the main character Percy Jackson and friends go on a wild adventure to defeat Kronos, the titan lord. But during this adventure, feelings are expressed throughout the book; true love comes between Percy and another demi –god Annabeth. New friends are made and much more.
The battle between Percy and his friends against Kronos and his titans can be expressed in so many ways. It can be expressed as the Civil as two large groups of men battle for what they want to be changed. Kronos, the evil titan lord wants to take over Olympus but Percy won’t let that happen. I quote when Poseidon, Percy Jackson’s father says “Strike for Olympus” makes me understand that here is going to be a huge fight when the gods of Olympus are fighting as well. The hatred of the fight goes a long way as many are dead for reasons that are stupid and wrong.
Many feelings are expressed in many parts of the book. For example when Percy and his friend Beckendorf are in a ship called the Princess Andromeda filled with Titans that are going to destroy the city and Olympus, Beckendorf gets captured and Percy has a chance to survive and or die with his friend. Percy had no choice but to leave when the boat exploded, you could tell Percy was sad by when he said “I knew in my gut he was dead. He’d sacrificed himself to take out the Princess Andromeda, and I had abandoned him.” Percy lost his best friend to save everybody else and Percy could not help Bekendorf in any way he could. During the end of the book, a relationship starts to grow. Percy and Annabeth show love during the battle when he saved Annabeth from Kronos and at the end when they kiss and show affection like when Percy says and I quote “ And it was pretty much the best underwater kiss of all time” really shows a lot about their love.
What I could understand from the book is friendship goes along away. Percy Jackson meets his brother Tyson, a Cyclops and some soldiers and friends from camp and his father’s palace underwater. Without the help of friends, Percy and the Olympians would had never won the battle between them and Kronos. For example, Percy and his friends stood together and helped each other by treating them with medicine to get through agonizing pain and more.
In Conclusion, the book was really great. I enjoyed the whole entire series. It made me understand things better and clearer when in one book I couldn’t understand things much but then the other book helps you out to other stand what happened more understood.
