The Last Olympian


I am reading The Last Olympian right now and to tell you the truth I'm kind of scared for Percy! This book is the fifth and finale book of the Percy Jackson and Olympian series. I really like this book, because it's entertaining and beautifully written as the mystery unravels, and well, I think this book is probably going to be one of the best out of the series. The reason I say that is because this book will be the book that the author, Rick Riordan will have to wrap everything up and get his last words out.
      
One reason why I'm scared for Percy is because in this book so far, Percy has traveled about with an old friend of his and done some very dangerous things so that he can defeat the evil Titan Lord Kronos himself. Another reason I'm scared is because right now Percy and about 40 other half-bloods are fighting a war against Kronos's army of about 300 monsters, I mean how unfair is that right?Anyway, Percy and his friends are fighting so that the Gods palace doesn't get destroyed and the world doesn't come to end. Pretty big thing for a bunch of kids to be doing, huh!
       
Yet here is another reason, why I'm biting my fingernails in bed. The Olympian Gods are fighting a huge powerful monster that has been woken from centuries of  sleep by a young boy named Percy by accident. The last time they had to fight this monster they almost lost to him, and if the gods almost lost when they were more powerful, it's upsetting to think what will happen to them now, but who knows.        
       
There is another thing that is very sad, and I'm hoping it won't happen to Percy, but in the Great Prophecy  (an old special hippy mummy that tells the future in rhyming strange ways) says something bad will happen to Percy, I don't want to tell you exactly what it says, or it will ruin the surprise. But sometimes the Oracle means something in a different way. I'm hoping so!
       
This book looks like it has a lot of sad tragic parts, and I have already had another thing in this book happen to one of Percy's friends, but I think he'll be okay. Anyway I doubt that all of the problems I have explained will go down-hill, and besides, I am dying to find out what happens next. This mystery is just getting juicy! 
       
This book is funny, hopefully not too sad, full of butt kicking action, and even a tiny bit of romance. And no I am not going to tell you why because that's for you to find out yourself!
