The Battle of the Labyrinth ~ Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #4)


★★★★☆

"Percy, lesser beings do many horrible things in the name of the gods. That does not mean we gods approve. The way our sons and daughters act in our names... well, it usually says more about them than it does about us."

This is probably the most coherently novel-like in the series. By this, I mean that it has themes and foreshadowing, and slower, calmer moments to balance out the action. There are more characters with greyer morality and interesting motivations than in previous books. Solidly good.

"Remake the wild, a little at a time, each in your own corner of the world. You cannot wait for anyone else, even a god, to do that for you."
