Another great ending

 The last four chapters were awesome and were full of excitement until the last word of the book.  After they all got the fleece and out of the sea of monsters they reached land Miami Bay. As soon as they got off and to land Percy told Clarisse to carry the fleece with her and take it to the camp, after all, it was her quest. But as soon as Clarisse went with the fleece a few moments later Luke and his team caught Percy and his friends and took them all to the Princess Andromeda as prisoners. Already at the boat Percy managed to record the conversation between Luke and him which is evidence that clears up Chiron’s name  as not guilty for poisoning Thalia’s tree . Luke asked several times were was the fleece ? But he didn’t realize that Clarisse was taking to the camp until moments later . Percy challenged Luke to a sword fight as part of his plan to distract him and let his friends go . Percy knew that the odds of him winning the fight was very little since he hadn’t practiced and plus Luke was a terrific sword fighter . But just when Percy was about to get killed Luke revived an arrow with a boxing glove on the top knocking him out . Centaurs including Chiron (Chiron’s cousins ) came to help! They fought against Luke’s little army and managed to get Percy and his friends out of there each riding a centaur to the camp. Centaurs are extremely fast which led Percy and his friends get from Miami to the camp in no time (even though the camp is located farther that long island New York).When they got to the camp it was just about to die it was very damaged because of various attacks from monsters.  But everything with the golden fleece stared became normal again . And something surprising had happened the fleece had worked on the tree way to good that one night Anabeth was guarding the fleece and suddenly a girl popped out of the inside of the tree . That girl’s name is called Thalia daughter of the Big Three , daughter of Zeus.


QUOTES
“He unclipped his cellphone from his quiver and handed it to me.  “It’s high time you called her.”
The worst part was the beginning- the “Percy Jackson –what were you thinking-do you have any idea how worried I was-sneaking off to camp without permission-going on  dangerous  quests and scaring me half to death.” Part.
But finally she paused to catch her breathe.  “Oh, I’m just glad you’re safe!”       (Riordan, 271)
 This quote immediately made me have a personal connection with my daily life . It makes me remember the times my mom gets scared and worried about me whenever I do a joke about myself. For example once I told my mom I got robbed on the street by some dangerous smugglers riding my bike that made her be in the same mood that Percy’s mom was in.
“Even Chiron, Anabeth, and Grover, who should’ve been celebrating this moment, were too shocked, thinking about what it might mean for the future. And I was holding in my arms someone who was destined to be my best friend, or possibly my worst enemy.”(Riordan , 279 )
This quote made me have a personal reaction. Made me think who is going to be Thalia in the future? It also made think if she would ever be Percy’s friend and live exciting moments together or will she be on the dark side of the current situation.
CONCLUSION

Overall I think this book was awesome , entertaining and mostly fun and not boaring to read like the other books . I love Rick Riordan’s work, I just think it’s amazing  the amount of mystery and creativity he put in his books . I also admire a lot how he makes the setting very modern and how he puts in  Greek myths mixed with the story . I absolutely don’t have any bad review on this book  or any other books of his because so far they have been incredible . I highly recommend this book to any guy that likes mystery and action and even if you don’t like reading , this is the book that you will fall in love with . In conclusion,  I loved reading this book and can’t wait   to read the next one .
