Grover Finds Pan

Summary of the Chapters

Percy went back to Camp Half-Blood and it was strange because the campers were making his funeral without him even dying. The half-bloods went to a cave were they could find Grover´s cap which told them that he was somewhere in the cave. They continued going through the cave and find a place where they could see a lot of different animals including Pan. Pan told to Grover that he was there waiting for him. After having a talk, Pan told Grover that he is not going to die because gods can´t die, but he was going to fade that is something similar to dying, but for gods. Grover reached to his achievement that he had planned for his whole life and find Pan, but now, he was going to fade.

Final Thoughts

I can tell from this book that was a really interesting one because of different reasons. One of those reasons can be that once again Luke and the titans wanted to make evil plans and cause damage to half-bloods and to the camp. I enjoyed reading this book and really it is not a big surprise since I have read the first three books before and found them all interesting. Not only for me, but for the characters, it was something good because Percy completed a new quest and Grover will be a great satyr for history because he was the only one that could find the god Pan. I like Percy Jackson books and this one was not the exception so I am willing to read the fifth one which is: Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian.

Trust Geryon? Or not?

Summary of the Chapters

Percy now knows that Luke is informed about the quest that the half-bloods are having to prevent Kronos and his allies entering to Camp Half-Blood using the Labyrinth´s entrance that is inside the camp. Percy was forced by Geryon to take care of a stable if he does not want to be sold to Kronos and all of the Titans. He realized that those horses were not really as friendly such as Blackjack or the hippocampi and instead, they wanted to attack him. Percy cleaned and protected the stable, but Geryon did not wanted to let the half-blood free, so they had a fight and at the end, Percy killed Geryon.

"His face turned a sickly shade of green. He collapsed to his knees and began crumbling into sand, until all that was left were three cooking aprons and an oversized pair of cowboy boots."
Percy and Geryon fought because of the monster not wanting to complete his part of the deal. The deal consisted in: Percy cleaning and taking care of the stable and Geryon letting him free and don´t sell him to the monsters.
""How long will it take Geryon to re-form?" I asked him. Eurytion shrugged. "Hundred years? He´s not one of those fast re-formers, thank the gods.""
Luckily for everyone, Geryon takes a long time to re-form and he will not bother any more for a long time.

Final Thoughts

If you make a deal with another person, it is really important that both members do what they are supposed to. In this case, Percy completed his part, but Geryon not so that caused Percy to get angry and kill the monster. If someone doesn´t do what he should do in a deal, that will cause anger in the other person like in this scenario that Percy´s anger was so big that he decided to fight and kill Geryon. Having a person in which you can trust is probably one of the important and most valuable things in a person´s life.
