The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan

The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson & the Olympians, #5)

by Rick Riordan

All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of victory are grim. Kronos's army is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil Titan's power only grows.

While the Olympians struggle to contain the rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Now it's up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time.

In this momentous final book in the New York Times best-selling series, the long-awaited prophecy surrounding Percy's sixteenth birthday unfolds. And as the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate.

I really loved this series and I'm sad that it's at an end. There were plenty of times where I was laughing out loud (which earned me some odd looks, I mean is it weird to laugh at a book?). As the last book at the tension that builds in the previous ones really presses you to keep reading and find out what happens. The ending felt right after all of it was over, and I had no issues with any deaths or fates of the characters it all felt as it should.
