I recently finished the 4th book in the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series, called "The Battle of the Labyrinth." You may see a lot of "This book" for the rest of this post, because Labyrinth is hard to spell.
"The Battle of the Labyrinth" is my favorite book in the series. As with the Harry Potter books, the Percy Jackson books seems to get more complex as Percy gets older. In this book, Percy is almost 15 years old, and the prophecy about him is only a year away. During a training exercise at Camp Half-Blood, Percy and Annabeth stumble across an entrance to the famed Labyrinth. They quickly realize that the villainous Luke can use the entrance to get his army of monsters into camp without having to pass the magical borders. So, Percy, Annabeth, Tyson and Grover set off into the labyrinth to find Daedelus, it's creator, and stop him from giving Luke the key to passing through the maze.
Like I said, I really liked this book. Percy is older and wiser, and his life is getting more complicated. Percy is discovering new abilities, and new feelings for Annabeth. We also get to see the relationship between Percy and Poseidon grow some in this book. Overall, I think the story went up a notch in this book, and I look forward to finishing the series with the 5th and final book.
