The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The sequel of "The Sea of Monsters" starts with Percy, Annabeth and Thalia (Daugter of Zeus, Resurrected from the Pine Tree in the "The Sea of Monsters"), acting as a backup for Grover who has scouted 2 Demi-gods, two siblings named Nico and Bianca di Angelo. But things turns out to be nasty when the monster who has been pretending to be the instructor, Dr. Thorne turns out to be a manticore. With the help of Artemis, the goddess of Hunt, and her hunters (incl.Zoe Nightshade), they are able to fend of the manticore but Annabeth is kidnapped in the process. From Dr.Thorne, they come to know about the search for a dangerous creature which if sacrificed gives the person power even obliterate the Olympus. Artemis goes on the search for this mysterious creature but is captured, according to Percy's and Zoe's dream. and Percy comes to know from the dream that Annabeth and Artemis are at the same place & that Luke is responsible for their Present Fate.

Percy and his friends must look for Artemis before the winter solstice meeting of the Olympian council (which is within a week or so), when the goddess's influence could change their view on the awakening of the Titans which they continue to ignore. Percy joins Thalia, Zoe, Bianca di Angelo, and Grover on their dangerous quest. They also are searching for a rare monster that Artemis was trying to hunt down when she went missing which is so strong that it can obliterate Olympus.

They embark on an adventure during which they come to know about the shocking real identities of some of characters and engages on much more enthralling battle with mighty villians & monsters with the help of cool gods, than the previous books.

The book takes the Percy Jackson series to a higher level. The Titan's Curse is the far better than the 1st and 2nd book of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series - delivering fast- paced, action packed adventures with mythological touch and the promise of more thrilling adventures & a mightier all-powerful war to ensue.
