Now Percy and his friends, along with the Hunters of Artemis, have only a week to find the kidnapped goddess and solve the mystery of the monster she was …

The Titan’s Curse is the third novel in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. In it, we follow once again the story of Percy Jackson, the son of Poseidon, who with his friends must embark on a dangerous adventure to save his friend Annabeth and Artemis (goddess of the hunt, the wilderness, wild animals, the Moon, and chastity) who have been kidnapped.

At first, Percy must venture on a mission with Annabeth and Thalia, the daughter of Zeus, who, in the previous book, returns to her human form, as Grover notifies them he has found a set of half-blood siblings. After a battle with a manticore, Annabeth and Artemis are kidnapped. The forces of evil are gathering and the Titans are awakening. To save their friend and Artemis from death and stop the war, the Hunters of Artemis and the heroes must work together.

All the novels in this saga are growing on me nicely. The plot is getting better by the minute; the pieces are fitting together and the ending is promising. I liked the mature way Percy deals with situations, both personally and towards others. The characters we already knew from the previous books improve considerably in this one and the ones introduced all have some fascinating storylines. Although the plot twists were not astonishing, the book is still intriguing.
