6th post.

Hi there. I just finished a book called The Last Olympian, which is part of the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians. It is about a half god named Percy Jackson. He is the son of Poseidon, god of the sea. He is battling the Titan Army, led by Kronos, who is in the form of a half blood who turned to the Titans, Luke Castellan. Luke ran away from home when he was young because his mom went insane. His mom went crazy because she tried to become the Oracle of Delphi, but little did she know, Hades put a curse on the Oracle of Delphi in the 1950's which didn't allow her to have another human host. Percy's friend, Annabeth, who is a daughter of Athena, helps Percy fight Kronos and his army.

To help himself defeat Kronos, Percy joins with his friend Nico, who is a son of Hades. Nico takes Percy to take a swim in the river Styx, which gives Percy the Curse of Achilles. The Curse of Achilles gives one unbelievable strength, but gives the person one weak point which a wound to would kill them. For Percy, his weak spot is the small of his back. He almost gets killed by Ethan Nakamura, son of Nemesis, who attacks him there with a poison blade, but Annabeth steps in the way and takes the knife for him, and ends up staying in camp for a few days to heal.

My favorite character in the series is Annabeth. She is sarcastic, smart, has a good sense of humor, and is a good fighter. She helps Luke kill Kronos (which is technically killing himself) because she helps him remember who he is and he ends up killing himself by stabbing himself in his weakspot, which is his armpit, with Annabeth's knife.
