Percy Jackson and the Olympian Book 5 - The Last Olympian Synopsis

-

 

The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan. 

This is the last book of this momentous series and all that I can say is that it was worth the wait. It all unfolds in the final installment of this thrilling series. The book starts with our very own Seaweed Brain, Percy Jackson, having a good day hanging out with his friend Rachel. Except, like every good day, it’s interrupted by yet another life or death experience. Blackjack lands on the hood of Paul’s car (yeah he’s not going to be happy about that…) and the rider is none other than Charles Beckendorf with a bag of explosives on his shoulder. They all have parts to play in this war and Percy Jackson and the ones closest to him bear the most. Speaking of the ones closest to him, Grover has disappeared and hasn’t been seen for a while. However, that’s not even half of all their troubles. All year the demigods have been training for the battle against Kronos and his army, knowing that the odds of victory are grim. As old monsters are resurfacing, and some of the minor gods join Kronos for the Second Titan War, the demigods are losing hope. While the gods are struggling to contain the raging monster Typhon, Kronos turns his attention to New York City, the home of Mount Olympus. With the gods distracted it’s up to the demigods to protect the city that they love. 


‘Last but not least is the Last Olympian. This book is filled with heartbreak and promises for a better future. In this book every person is invaluable and they all contribute to twists and turns in the plot. It conjures up a bunch of feelings both good and bad, and when it comes to the final showdown, every weapon counts even if it’s an unlikely one like a hairbrush. With betrayals and last-minute changes, a bracelet gave everything away a few minutes late. At least, we don’t have to say goodbye to our hero Percy Jackson. Rick Riordan wrote a spin-off series called the Heroes of Olympus and we meet new characters but keep the old ones. The band of characters in this series will make us feel like we’ve never left. This series was amazing and I’m excited to see how our characters grow and become better. Comment below which is your favorite book out of the Percy Jackson and Olympians series.

  Author's Note: We finally have a cover!!! It's the picture on the left. Hope you like it and enjoy chapter 5! It's a shorter one this time.  Chapter 5: Jay’s POV:       ‘Could you help me with this?’ My gaze drifted from the game I was watching, and went towards Jerry, who had a number of tools in his hands.  ‘Hm? Sure, what do you need?’ I said, getting up and walking towards him. We were in our dorm and Nate was out with Nithya and Shravya. They have been working hard for the past two days to find the leeway. With no avail, they let the rest of us do whatever we wanted today.  Jerry and I already finished unpacking, but he still didn’t get all of his tools and gadgets to the workroom. Jerry got his own room for working on the weapons and tools. Lucky, but then again his job was very important.  ‘Could you grab that box over there and come with me to the workroom?’ He pointed towards a box sitting a few inches away from his bed. I bent over and grabbed the handle. T

Stealing Icarus - Chapter 11

  Author's Note:  The following content has an unspecified narrator until it says so.  “Mother?” I say , looking at myself in the mirror, “It’s done. He’s gone.” A chuckle comes from the end of the line, “Good job you little disgrace. Finally did something useful, didn't you?” My voice trembled, and then winced, if Mother had heard the whimper that had escaped my mouth she would never forgive me. Witches and wizards of such a high ranking were supposed to be cold as ice. Not vomiting and shuddering after their first kill. Another magician my age, in the City of Luminance would’ve already been responsible for multiple deaths of these humans.  “Cut the call you whimpering fool, before those humans realize,” The woman on the other end whispered harshly. I nodded, even though she couldn’t see me, and pressed the “end call” button with shaky hands.  I was ever so grateful of the fact that she couldn’t see me after I fell to the floor, sobbing at the blood that now stained my hands .

  Chapter 7:           Lucia's POV:  The ship thrummed around me as I twisted beneath the blankets. After patching up Nithya’s hand, I had wanted to take a nap since I didn’t get enough sleep last night, but when I climbed into bed, sleep evaded me and disappeared. This was pretty normal, I’ve always had trouble falling asleep.  Sighing, I sat up and crossed my laps under the twisted sheets. Even if I ever managed to catch a wink of sleep, nightmares and memories of the past would haunt me. My hair, with its colorful tips, falls over my shoulders freely. I look up at the ceiling and see the painted stars on there, representing what we were on this ship for. To get a star.  In my opinion, this was ridiculous. We were going to attempt to steal a star? Shouldn’t we try something more permanent, like proposing a peace treaty between the City of Luminance and Magellan? It would make things much easier, and they wouldn’t have to sacrifice people every time we needed a new star. For now,
