And the only person who can undertake this dangerous quest is Percy...

The sea of monster was another perilous quest of Percy Jackson in which he has to save his friend Grover and camp at the same time. This time he gets little help from his father and other God. This book showed strength of team work, friends and family (even though it’s messy) and how these three bonds together can conquer biggest enemy and help in completing any quest.

As usual characterization was the second best part of this book. They were little developed and learn new things as they move ahead in life and book. New characters were introduced in this book.

Tyson– Percy’s half-brother. He was big baby Cyclops, so cute, funny and loving but because of Annabeth’s bad history and Percy’s jealousy, poor guy was not appreciated enough. His affable, caring and protective nature won heart of Percy, Annabeth and all camper in the end.

Tantalus was horrible camp director. I was surprised he was chosen as a director while Gods could have chosen some other reasonable person. I mean how they could give future of their kids in hands of not-so-ideal father/person!! But as Hermes said ‘immortal families are eternally messy’.

Annabeth saved Percy’s butt many times here. She was brave, brilliant and also accepted her fatal flaw. Percy managed to work with Clarisse ever the brave and difficult to deal with and also even impressed her in the end, ‘for time being’, by his cool nature. I loved how author showed strength of female characters over male protagonist in this book.

Percy was great friend and a good-hearted person and showed his true nature, while fighting Polyphemus and what he did with flees after quest, which might be his fatal flaw. He developed more by overcoming his jealousy about how his dad gave attention to his half-brother, who showed up without warning, and accepted him as a brother in the end.

The book started with a Percy’s nightmare, something his mother was hiding about camp half-blood and last day of 7th grade turned into cannonball fight with monsters, blowing up the gym and running from the police. Couldn’t expect more action in the beginning right? There was more! Camp half-blood under attack, Thalia’s tree dying due to poison, magical border deteriorating. Camp itself was dying! Only few weeks left and only way to save it was magical Golden Fleece. Hold your ponies readers, things are going to be more action packed, tragic and entertaining.

As and when necessary few things were explained from the first book like what is half-blood, who was Grover and what was his satyr brothers work, about camp, Clarisse and camp’s director- all things to recall from first book if you have taken long time to read sequel, of course not in repetitive manner.

As usual camp Half-blood and Greek mythology along with characters was my most favorite part of the book. Story of Tantalus, Golden Fleece was beat to read. Oh and shocking part was knowing who Chiron’s father was. I loved how Rick Riordan depicted monsters and scenes, he teaches Greek myth in most entertaining way with flawless writing and gripping adventure.

Another thing I liked about Rick Riordan’s writing is his amusing references -‘ Charybdis got louder- a horrible wet roar like the galaxy’s biggest toilet being flushed’. ‘Charybdis was orthodontist’s nightmare.’ ‘The tree (Olive) struck him with such force it would’ve flattened me into a Percy Pizza with extra olives’. And some more that made me chuckle throughout the book.

Some tense scenes – knowing Luke’s plan on Cruz ship, why he poisoned Thalia’s tree and what he intended to do with fleece; fighting hydra; going through sea of monsters; escaping C.C’s Island, sirens and Polyphemus- made me sit anxiously with urge to read more and faster. We get to know bits of the big prophecy that involved Percy in this book.

Twist at the end of each chapter, suspense of prophecy, Titan Lord’s tricky plans for Percy made this dangerous quest full of excitement and action packed. Sassy Nature of Percy, innocence and golden heart of Tyson, Annabeth’s smartness through refreshing tone and perspective of Percy was fun to read. The bond between Percy and Tyson was charming and I loved to read this new trio on quest of saving old friend and ultimately end up saving more than what they intended.

Climax was utterly brilliant and end was shocking and a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to start next book in the series.

Overall, it was action packed, adventurous and fun to read. I highly recommend this book to YA, Greek Mythology lovers.

Several elements from book 1 are seen here. Start in Percy's new school, Percy goes to the camp with <spoiler>, finds a quest, denied to go for it bit still goes, help from his father. Still a pretty good read.

Sea of monsters is as thrilling as the first book.... Percy Jackson must set out for a quest along with Annabeth and his half brother cyclopes named Tyson to save Grover and most importantly the camp half blood because Thalia tree is dying.. Someone had poisoned it.. But what awaits at the end of the quest? Success or trickery!?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 November 2019

Another entertaining and well written instalment in the Percy Jackson series, although I wasn't quite as impressed as I was with the first novel. Some aspects of this were absolutely fantastic, and I absolutely fell in love with the character of Tyson who is definitely an interesting take on a step-sibling. The action moves along at quite a clip and the characters are well defined and developed. Somehow it didn't quite have the sparkle that I got from the first book, but it's still a strong sequel and I am looking forward to seeing where this goes in the future.

Love these books!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 September 2019

I am 12 years old and am quite an advanced reader, so thought these books would be more for younger kids and not for me. I fell in love with them! The concept of the book is amazing. It is about Greek demigods in the modern day, who have to deal with normal problems as teenagers as well as fighting Greek monsters and saving Olympus! The books didn't get worse during the series and the characters were relatable and funny and it feels like they are your friends. As well as this, since reading these books, I have found I now know tones of stuff about Greek mythology and aced my classics test! I have now read the Percy Jackson series, heroes of Olympus series and trials of Apollo series and could not recommend this series enough!

A Sensational Mix of Greek Mythology and Modern Day

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 March 2019

Verified Purchase

This book has an excellent storyline and plausible plot. The story is based on Percy Jacksons adventure to find the Golden Fleece and use it to heal the Thalia the daughter of Zeus who turned into a tree. Percy Jackson sets on a quest to find the fleece but encounters the horrible Cyclops Polyphemus and other monsters on the journey to the finding of the fleece.
During this time Percy has to grasp the fact that his brother is a cyclops as well and is called Tyson, Tyson has a huge impact on throughout the story and protects Percy. Setting off with Annebeth he encounters the witch Circe who turns into a guinea pig. Luckily if his friend had not come to rescue him he would have been stuck in that state for eternity.

Excellent book I would definitely recommend this book for all readers it is a brilliant book and I think Riordan is a genius when it comes to writing in Greek mythology.

Good hero v baddy story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 August 2015

Im a Harry Potter fan and have read my HP books so often that I fancied a change. These books were recommended by fellow HP fans and I must say I really enjoyed it. The story line is all based around Percy Jackson who finds out he is a demi god - is father is one of the top three gods - wont say who as its part of the story. Anyway he goes on a quest to recover Zeus's firebolt and along the way makes both friends and enemies. There is certainly a lot of greek mythology references which I enjoyed and its certainly a hero verses the bad guys story like HP. The plot lines are a little obvious but the books are aimed at 11+ year olds so to be expected. The author may not be JK Rowling but I have ordered the next two books so proof of their entertainment value. All in all very enjoyable

Perfect for adventurous boys

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2017

Verified Purchase

Bought the whole series of Percy Jackson for my 12-year old son who liked a lot all 5 books (including this) and read them during a relatively short time. When he finished the Harry Potter series he was in trouble what to read next so we pick these for him. I am glad we did because the story is good and engaging, adventurous enough for a young boy plus it teaches some about acient greek history (which is a bonus really). I would definietly recommend it.
