Percy Jackson and The Battle of the Labyrinth is the fourth installment in the Percy Jackson series and is written by Rick Riordan. In this book, Percy (despite being the narrator) takes a bit of a backseat in the story and gives the lead to Annabeth, who leads her friends to find the inventor of the mythical Labyrinth when they discover its role in a plan led by Kronos’s army to destroy Camp Half-Blood.

I decided to start reading this series after seeing the trailer for the movie that came out that was based on the first book in this series. I’m glad that I did, as I really enjoyed this book! It’s set in a dystopian setting where a mutation has broken out in the US, causing both younger and older children to either die or gain special powers. The government deems those with powers as dangerous and makes parents send the children to “rehabilitation camps” that are supposed to “train” the kids and make sure the kids aren’t dangerous.
