Please do not read this review if you have not read the first Percy Jackson. My thoughts on that can be found here.
The Sea of Monsters is the second book in the Percy Jackson trilogy. It starts about 10 months after the events of The Lightning Thief. Percy is attending a new school, and has made a singular, yet slightly dumb, friend, Tyson. During an intense game of Doge ball (no, not the meme, dodgeball) where the opponents are giants that throw fireballs (doooo do do do do do) Percy and Tyson are whisked away to Camp Half-Blood, where Chiron has left, replaced by Tantalus, a cursed spirit who can neither eat nor drink. Later, Percy finds out three things- one, the magical pine protecting the camp's borders is dying, two- tyson is Percy's half-brother on the godly side, and three- Percy's best friend Grover has gone missing. A quest is issued to find the one thing that can heal the tree- the Golden Fleece- but Percy is not issued to lead it. Instead, it is his rival, Clarisse. Mad at this outcome, Percy, Tyson, and Annabeth go out to find Grover (he went missing searching for the nature god, Pan) and the Golden Fleece. Will they die? Will they live? Who will help them? I absolutely refuse to spoil, so go read The Sea of Monsters today!
