The Plot Thickens

**Warning Spoilers**

In The Titan's Curse we see the continuing adventures of the young hero Percy Jackson.  And like any other human being your adventures only get more complicated as you grow up.  Sorry, being the son of Poseidon does not give you a free pass from the perils of adolescence. Oohh, really sorry, it actually does the opposite.  Because in addition to all the normal teenage problems you also have terrifying monsters, titans threatening to rise again, and now all the gods of Olympus are on your back because of a prophecy that hints you may end up destroying them.

And as if that wasn't enough you also have to try and get along with Thalia, daughter of Zeus; try to maintain your relationship with Annabeth, daughter of Athena while she is hung up over the betrayal of Luke, son of Hermes, all while rescuing two new half bloods of unknown parentage.

Then we get a whole new cast of characters as we meet the goddess of the hunt Artemis and her maiden hunters.  Turns out Artemis loves recruiting half-bloods, only the maidens of course, so that's a whole new wrinkle to deal with.

Good thing Percy is a hero, he's gonna need all the help he can get.

Finding your place...that's kids stuff.
