The World is Saved!

Summary of the Chapters

Percy, Annabeth, and Grover went to the Olympus to prepare for the final battle against Kronos and the titans who were going there for the fight. Kronos started to destroy everything in the Olympus when Percy and his friends entered the thrones part and the fight between Percy and Kronos started. The world almost ended, but Percy and the gods could defeat the titans in their mission and save everybody from a fatal ending. Percy admits that he can´t leave Annabeth and he wants to stay with her.

"I have to fight him," I told her. "It´s my fight too, Percy."
Both, Percy and Annabeth knew that they had to fight Kronos and it was crucial to save the gods, themselves, and the world.
"I´m immortal you fool! I have escaped Tartarus. You have no business here, and no chance to live."
Kronos is right in telling this to Nico and the half-bloods, but they can still destroy him without killing him and he will be gone for another long time.

Final Thoughts & Comments

The half-bloods are really brave to fight Kronos. They knew that they were at risk of dying and Kronos was not (he will be destroyed and could appear again in a long time, but is still not dying).
The reason why the half-bloods fight was something that helped them because they knew what was at stake. Percy and the half-bloods are real heroes and they are the ones that can say that they saved the world.

Kronos Always Gives Up?

Summary of the Chapters

Percy gets out of the Underworld and meets the half-bloods at the Empire State Building with the purpose to also meet Zeus and the gods. Percy had a fight against the titan Kronos and after a moment of fight, Percy made the titan give up and get out of there. Prometheus told Percy that they have to give up in their mission of destroying the titans because they will die and the Olympus will be destroyed and if they fight or not had nothing to do with that. The half-bloods and a lot of centaurs from Chiron attacked Kronos again and he had to give up again.

Text References

"I tried to wound his men, not kill. That slowed me down, but these weren´t monsters. They were demigods who´d fallen under Kronos´s spell."
Kronos was intelligent and used a spell to get some demigods fooled and get them on their side.
"He mounted his horse, whirled around, and galloped back to Brooklyn, followed by his warriors."
After fighting Percy, the titan Kronos decided to escape to Brooklyn because Percy was strong enough to fight him.

Final Thoughts & Comments

Kronos is a titan and Percy a half-blood, but still Percy can fight him having that big disadvantage. Kronos created a spell to make some of the half.bloods change to his side and help him fight against the other half-bloods. At some times I think that Kronos is a coward because he always escapes when he is at risk of being defeated. Also, he can be viewed as someone intelligent because he knows exactly at which moment he can be destroyed and just escapes to protect himself from the danger that in this case would be Percy and the half-bloods.

Summary of the Chapters:

Percy Jackson went back to Camp Half-Blood and told everyone that they exploded the Princess Andromeda and Beckendorf died there. Percy didn´t want to give any full report, but visit the Oracle and know what has to happen in the future. Half-Bloods went to Luke´s mom house and she started hugging everybody saying that they were Luke and he has returned. The half-bloods realized that there was a problem with May Castellan and got the story of the last time that she had been with his son.

Text References:

"I don´t recommend shadow travel if you´re scared of:
a) The dark
b) Cold shivers up your spine
c) Strange noises
d) Going so fast you feel like your face is peeling off"
Percy´s recommendations told me that shadow travel is not the best way to do it and also it make me feel like Percy is going to die because he likes high-risk activities and they can kill him.
"Perrrrcy, is Kronos really going to invade?"
Percy and his teammates are afraid of Kronos invading them or their camp.

Final Thoughts and Comments:

Percy is a person who loves danger and destroying the Titans is dangerous. It seems like it is a perfect job for Percy if he likes taking some risks. Kronos will not be afraid of killing Percy if he has an opportunity to do so. Percy Jackson is someone really brave that wants to take risks to save the Half-Bloods just like he had done a lot of times in the past.
