Do not read this if you have not read the previous Percy Jacksons. Start with the first one, my thoughts on it can be found here.
The Battle of the Labyrinth is, in my opinion, the best Percy Jackson out of all of them for its amazing setting (the labyrinth), interesting characters, and great plot. It starts out with Percy going to hi new school, Goode academy, when he ends up fighting vampires on mismatched legs, killing one, and letting the other escape in a fiery ball of explosion. Later, at camp, he learns that the camp director, Dionysus, is not at camp, and is replaced by a mysterious 50 year old demigod by the name of Quintus, who owns a pet Hellhound named Mrs. O'Leary. He also runs a game played later that night, involving pairs of two fighting giant scorpions for the laurels. During this game, Percy and Annabeth, while fighting three of scorpions, find an entrance to the Labyrinth in a pile of rocks called Zeus's fist (named for if you look at it the exact right way, it looks like a fist coming up from the ground, any other time, a giant pile of deer poop). Time is weird while in the Labyrinth, so while they think they are in there for about a minute, an hour has passed aboveground. Since the enemy's army is using the labyrinth as a way to travel, this gives them a direct passageway into camp. Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Tyson are sent to find the maker of the labyrinth and convince him to help the demigods. Will they succeed? Will they be crushed by the enemy's forces? find out in The Battle of the Labyrinth!
