1. Right now in my book Percy and his companions are escaping being killed by Kronos's helpers and have pretty much completed there quest in saving Artimes and Annabeth. But, they didn't escape completely unscathed. Zoe, who is on the quest with Percy, was bitten by a dragon and needs help. They are in a flying sleigh and leaving the scene of the fight. Artemis had been trapped holding they weight of the sky but, now the weight has been returned to Atlas, who is a very mean man who is working for Kronos and also Zoe's father.

2. The book is really fast past on action packed. It has something exciting and nerve racking happening on every other page. It is full of gods, goddesses, monsters, heros, and many other magical and mythical animals. I love how the book relates to the modern world and mythology at the same time. Those elements make it different form other fantasy or action books.

3. The theme in this book is making sacrifices. For example, earlier in the story, a girl who was on the quest gave up her life to save her companions. Also, Annabeth sacrificed herself for her friends by telling them to leave and not to save her. Also, Zoe sacrificed herself by not notifying the others how badly hurt she was so that they could continue on and rescue Artemis. If some of those sacrifices hadn't accord the story wouldn't have been able to continue on.

4. My favorite character in this book is the main character, Percy Jackson. He is the son of Poseidon which I think is really cool. Also, he is very brave and determined to save his friends and succeeding in the quest. He would never betray his friends or his family, unlike some other demi-gods, and believes in what is right.

5. One of My least favorite characters is Atlas. He works for Kronos, which is bad in itself because he is trying to take down Olympus. Also, he would have killed his own daughter and felt probably nothing of it.

6. I predict that Zoe might die because of the dragon bit. I think this because the prophecy of there quest said something about someone dying at a parents hand and because the dragon was I believe, owned by her father, it would have been his fault she died. I also predict that the are going to take the sleigh to camp half blood because it is safe there and they need to report to the camp that they saved Annabeth and Artemis and get help for the wounded.
