![]() Rick Riordan has created a character with a voice that is developing superbly. If it didn’t and could be used to build suspense for the final novel then it was left in a way that hinted at an explanation but kept the reader on the edge of their seat with anticipation. When an event happened that needed an explanation to make sense it got one. Everything about the writing flowed amazingly well and unlike The Titan’s Curse, the story kept at a pace that was entertaining. It not only kept up a sophisticated air of a skilled story teller, but it kept the language simple at the right places so that you remember that you are reading from the point of view of a fourteen-year-old boy. The narrative of the story kept to the same writing style as the previous novels and was impeccable at capturing Percy’s voice. It follows the fourteen-year-old titular character, Percy, as he returns to Camp Half-Blood to discover the secret plans his friend Annabeth had been involved in prior to the events of the previous novel, the discovery of former camper Luke’s plan to use the legendary Labyrinth of Daedalus to invade the camp with Kronos and his army of monsters, and the inevitability he and his friends would have to enter the labyrinth themselves to persuade Daedalus to help them instead of Luke. The Battle of the Labyrinth was first published in 2008 and is the fourth book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series written by American author Rick Riordan. ![]()
