He’s now much more confident than he was in the first book though his insecurities do come through occasionally.
I loved Percy Jackson’s character, and I enjoy how he grows and matures in each book. Of course, there are those who don’t want them to succeed, so the trio has to overcome all sorts of obstacles before finding the fleece, including new enemies and an old arch nemesis. It’s also worth mentioning that it’s very likely that Polyphemus will end up eating our poor Grover in the coming days. There is only one possible way to reverse the poisoning and restore the boundary, and that is to obtain the Golden Fleece.Īfter being encouraged by one of the gods (who has an ulterior motive), Percy among with Annabeth, the daughter of Athena and Tyson our friendly Cyclops, head off on a quest to retrieve the Golden Fleece from an evil creature named Polyphemus who, as it so happens, is also holding Grover (a satyr and Percy’s friend) hostage. Someone has poisoned the pine tree which strengthens the magical boundary surrounding the camp and with the boundary weakened, monsters are at the borders attempting to break in. There, Percy learns of a diabolical plan to destroy the camp. Then Percy gets word that there’s big trouble at Camp Half-blood so against his mother’s wishes, he, along with Tyson, (who is actually a Cyclops as it turns out) and Annabeth, rush to the camp to help. He’s feeling pretty smug about making it almost through the entire school year without getting expelled when cannibalistic monsters attack Percy during gym class, and the whole school ends up pretty much destroyed.
He ends up befriending a massive, unpopular teenager named Tyson. The Sea of Monsters opens a few months after the events of the first novel with our favorite half-blood making an admirable attempt to fit in as school - or at least, not to destroy the school.
This is the second book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, and I enjoyed this book as much as the first. Sometimes the best we can do is to remind each other that we’re related, for better or worse … and try to keep the maiming and killing to a minimum.
