                                                         The Last Olympian
   
     The book The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan is the last sequel in the Percy Jackson & The Olympian series. In the Series Percy Jackson a demigod, son  of Poseidon goes on a series adventures in the world of Greek Mythology. In this book Percy lead his camp, Camp Half- Blood a camp full of demigod into battle with the Titan Kronos and his army. Kronos is the ruler of the Titans, and posses the body of Hermes' son Luke, a demigod. Kronos and his army want revenge on the gods and want to destroy Mount Olympus while the gods are busy fight Typhon, one of the strongest Titans. Percy and his camp travel to the Empire State Building where Mount Olympus is and guard it from Kronos' army.
   Percy and his camp were out numbered by Kronos' army. In the war in Manhattan most of the demigods were defeated. They thought they had know hope and they have failed until Hades, the god of the Underworld was convinced by his son, Nico. Hades was mad at his two brothers Zeus and Poseidon for making his stay in the world of the dead, but he was convinced that if he didn't help in the war the Gods would know longer exist so he and his wife Persephone guard Olympus with the demigods. At the end Poseidon helped and stopped Typhon and the war was over. Percy was granted one wish or he can become a god. Percy declined being a god and wished that the gods must claim their children when they are 13. Percy went back and lived with his mother and he lived his normal life again.
   This book was really good because it was full of action and drama. It was really detailed so it felt like you were actually in the war. One of my favorite part was in the battle of Manhattan where there was a lot of action. The Percy Jackson & the Olympian series is full of adventure, action, drama, comedy, and romance. You should check it out!
