Tysooon!! That boy was so precious, I really love his innocence yet optimistic character.
The prophecy. Usually they told the prophecy before going to the quest, but for this book Annabelle won't tell the full prophecy. It made me dead curious!
Pan! After 4 books they finally have a lead on his whereaboutsðŸ˜
Yes this book was an easy 5 stars! Characters, world building, and plot are amazing! Most of all, the battle was epic!

Riordan is a rare author of YA fiction that manages to encapsulate pretty well the awkwardness of being a teenager. That the characters have unhuman powers and encounter monsters frequently doesn't make them less, well, human. The little bits of romantic interest that are coming up as everyone's getting older are frustrated and uncoordinated, and that's certainly how I remember it being around that age.
I've become very fond of Rachel - I hope she comes back in the last book, too. She's so straightforward. I was happy to see Tyson play a big role again, too - and he became friends with Grover! The two best boys getting over their mutual fear of each other made me very happy.
Nico was kind of annoying for a lot of the book, unfortunately. I don't think that's a problem of the writing so much as it was him being a sulky kid, and I can't really blame him for that.
I do wish the titular Battle of the Labyrinth had been a little bit more intense. The smaller fight scenes are typically pretty dynamic, so the big battle felt a little lacklustre.
I mentioned before that I was disappointed that Luke didn't die in The Titan's Curse. Now, though, I am pretty intrigued as to the direction his story is going.
