Antonio Alberto zabretony — ** spoiler alert ** I loved this book, just like the first book in the Percy Jackson series! This one was even more captivating and intense! In The Sea of Monsters, Rick Riordan once again wove Greek mythology figures into the story, but this time, the main focus was not a stolen lightning bolt, but a poisoned tree. The tree that protects Camp Half-Blood from mortals and monsters was originally Thalia, Zeus's daughter. Then, she was in a fight with monsters and sacrificed herself to save her friends. She was turned into a tree to protect the camp and "watch over them." This protection was slowly weakening and wearing out because somebody had poisoned Thalia's tree! The only way to possibly cure it is to find the Golden Fleece, a magical fleece that will bring life into everything near it. The problem is, the Golden Fleece is impossible to get, as it is in the treacherous Sea of Monsters, or as mortals know it, the Bermuda Triangle, and in order to travel from camp, a quest must be granted. That is unlikely as Chiron, the old centaur who directed activities was replaced with Tantalus, a cruel figure who dislikes Percy very much. Finally, they convince Tantalus to grant a quest, but he gives the quest opportunity to Clarisse, daughter of Ares, and Percy's biggest enemy. Percy knows he must still venture out so he, Annabeth, and Tyson escape from camp. Tyson is a cyclops and recently found out to be a son of Poseidon as well as Percy. Annabeth, Tyson, and Percy travel for days to the Sea of Monsters, with Grover in mind as well. In his dreams, Percy has been connecting with Grover, because he was captured by a giant cyclops and is in trouble! He too is in the Sea of Monsters, so they hope to save him while finding the Golden Fleece! I loved this part of the book because it was very complicated, with everything happening at once, but very interesting and page-turning, suspenseful, and kind of funny at points! At one point in their travels, the trio runs into Clarisse, who is alone on a ship of dead war soldiers, a "gift" from Ares. Together, they travel for a while until they meet two huge monsters, Charybdis and Scylla. These two monsters sink their ship and separate them, so Annabeth and Percy are together, Clarisse is once again by herself, and sadly, Tyson is nowhere to be seen! This part was also very suspenseful, because I wanted to know what happened to Tyson. When Percy and Annabeth finally reach the island where the Golden Fleece and Grover are, they find that Clarisse has already been there. The huge cyclops had trapped Grover, thinking he is a girl cyclops and going to marry him, and the trio has to rescue him! Also, the Golden Fleece is on a tree, guarded by monster sheep. The only way to rescue both Grover and the Golden Fleece is to trick the cyclops, which they eventually do, with the help of Tyson, who returned magically, almost out of nowhere! This was very happy! When everyone returns to camp, Thalia's tree is once again healthy and powerfully protecting camp, Chiron comes back, and all is well, almost. Luke, son of Hermes, is still out to get the gods. He is trying to make Kronos, the titan ruler, come back to power and is doing all he can to accomplish this, including fight Percy! This was a nice twist to the book, and I really liked it! At the very end, what made this book so amazing was the fact that the Golden Fleece did its job too well, to the extent that Thalia came back to life as a girl. This is how Luke and Kronos planned it, so one more demigod might be on their side! I could not believe this and I loved this last chapter of the book! Overall, The Sea of Monsters was amazing, funny, sad at points, suspenseful, captivating, interesting, and just an all around great, page-turning book!
