It was the best book in the series yet! So full of action and battle: it was a very thrilling read. Not once in the book did I feel even a little bored especially with all the hilarious jokes. There was also a lot more romance for Percy this book and I can't help but feel sorry for him haha. This books stellar prophecy is: 
 You shall delve in the darkness of the endless maze, 
 The dead, the traitor, and the lost one raise. 
 You shall rise or fall by the ghost king's hand, 
 The child of Athena's final stand. 
 Destroy with a hero's final breath, 
 And lose a love to worse than death. 
 (view spoiler)[ At first, when he spotted Rachel at his new school I was so freaking happy. I really wanted to see her again in the series and she was definitely a main character in this book which made me love the book more. I loved that she was needed by Percy and Annabeth to guide them in Labrynth. It was a great twist and I couldn't help but smile whenever Annabeth got jealous. He also got more lady action when he landed near Ogygia, courtesy of our dear goddess Hera(who actually helped them a lot so I don't understand why Annabeth could not keep her cool at the end). She saved his life by doing that because he was really weak. Without the beautiful Calypso, he would have died. In his mind, Calypso was even more beautiful that Aphrodite(gasp! Is that even possible?). If he had stayed any longer, he would have fallen so hard for her that he'd never leave. But no matter how blunt her can be, he would never abandon his fellow half bloods for a girl. I know that in the future, he would think of her more than once and the same goes for the sweet Calypso. 
 When we first met Quintus, I would have NEVER guessed that he was Daedulus. Yes he was a shady character and at the very beginning I did suspect him to be on the wrong side but then later on I changed my mind because he gave Percy that whistle. But when he 'mysteriously' left again, I switched back to thinking he was evil. It's just so wow that he turned out to be Daedulus. I was SO shocked. 
 His hellhound was the best thing ever and so cuuute. After he left the sword fighting place and went back to his cabin to clean it up HE SAW TYSON AND I WAS SO CLOSW TO CRYING HAPPY TEARS BECAUSE I LOVE HIM SO MUCH AND I COMPLETEKY FORGOT THAT HE WAS MEANT TO COME BACK THAT SUMMER. Him coming back was another reason I loved this book so much. 
 I would also like to mention how awesome it is that Grover has girlfriend. I was totally not expecting that but Juniper seems like such an amazing girl and I am so happy for both of them. I loved how determined and passionate he was about finding Pan. He hated the underground but still went through it with Tyson(who he really fears and Tyson's scared of the 'goat boy' too and that really cracks me up). He was so brave because of that and with his perseverance he finally found Pan, the god of the Wild. It was very shocking that he ended up dying but his spirit lives among them and I hope they succeed in fixing up the wild. When Pan told Tyson that his name will be known for all Cyclopes in the coming generation, I got all tested up because he really deserves it. He truly does. I LOVE TYSON. I WANT HIM TO ALSO FIND LOVE! He better get a girlfriend next book. 
 When Tyson first met Briares in his cell, I was also teary. He was talking to him about how strong and powerful all One-Hundred-Ones are and how much respected them like a big brother. I can't even begin to imagine how soul cursing it was for hi to finally meet his hero but realize he's so weak and hopeless. When Briaries just left them in the maze, I was pretty upset too. But when he came back with Daedulus in the first battle with Kronos' army, I was beyond happy that he had come to his senses. I loved loved loved how he respected Tyson so much and that he went to go help the other Cyclopes make better weapons under the sea. 
 Nico's apparent change in this book really hurt me to see. He was such a cheerful boy but after his sister's death, he turned into someone dark. That idiot Minos manipulated the boy and I am so glad he stayed dead. Nico deserves a better life with other half blood friends and a home where he felt like he belonged. He has no mom and he can't really stay with his dad and his only companions are dead people. He deserves SO MUCH MORE. I understand that he wants to figure out all the mysteries that surround his life but he should not have to do it alone(he needs a partner in crime whose actually alive ). 
 Hopefully next book something happens that really changes his life into something happier. (hide spoiler)] 
 This book was really wonderful and I can't wait to read The Last Olympian.
