I advise you not to look at this review if you have not read the previous Percy Jacksons. My thoughts on those can be found here and here.
The Titan's Curse is the third book in the bestselling Percy Jackson series. However, I skipped this book while reading it for the first time as the plot didn't pick up until about three or four chapters into the book, unlike the rest of the series, which jumps straight into the plot in the first few pages. It starts off with Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia visiting a school in Bar Harbor, Maine to see if they can find some demigods living there. About two chapters later, after they met the demigods, they learn that the principal, (or one of the teachers, I haven't read this one in a while.) Dr. Thorn, is a Manticore, a creature with the feet of a tiger, the body of a human, and the tail of a scorpion (the ancient greeks had some really messed-up imaginations). During the battle, Annabeth pushes Thorn off a cliff, taking herself with him (she's captured, not dead). Then, the mythical Hunters of Artemis, hunter women who have vowed never to fall in love, in exchange for anti-aging, arrive. What do they want with our heroes? What will happen to Annabeth? Find the answers in The Titan's Curse!
