The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars




The Second book of the “Percy Jackson and The Olympians” Series is almost as interesting as the first one. Riordan has successfully introduced many new characters and braided a sensational story with humour, little bit of romance, adventure, peril and mythology into his “Percy Jackson and The Sea Monsters”. Same as the previous one, PJ&SM is an insomnia-inflicting page turner.



After a huge adventurous journey saving the world from war among Gods, Percy Jackson returns to school having a trivial silent school life. In his new school, he makes acquaints and later becomes best friends with homeless Tyson who is little slow brained and really muscular and big. After wrecking the whole school gym to fight cannibalistic monsters with the help of Annabeth and Tyson, Percy goes on the run, returning to camp-half blood to find it in peril. The Zeus’s Daughter-who-became-a-pine-tree, Thailia, has been poisoned thereby making the magical boundary that protects Camp Half-Blood enervated, and mortal danger befalls the demigods at the hand of deadly monsters. Percy dreams about his satyr friend Grover being in trouble and comes to know that Grover had created an empathy-link with Percy to let Percy know about his fate (So if Grover dies, Percy also dies). He also comes to know that Grover is detained by a Cyclops and it also has the Golden Fleece which if brought to the camp can save Thalia’s Tree.



In order to save the camp and his best friend, Grover, who has been taken prisoner on an island somewhere in the dangerous Sea of Monsters, presently known as The Bermuda Triangle, Along with his friends Tyson & Annabeth, Percy embarks on a adventurous journey to the Sea of Monsters encountering many Mythological characters. Before that Percy learns that he has a half-brother.
