Its right before camp and Percy is going to orientation for a new school that his mother's boyfriend works at and he is accosted by flaming cheerleaders with vampire powers. With the help of Rachel Elizabeth Dare, he fights them off but not before they warn him that the camp is going to be attacked. He met Rachel in the last book at a National Park and she can see through the Mist and be able to help him then too. Annabeth shows up and is upset with Percy for telling Rachel about their world., but really she's just jealous that Percy may have feelings for Rachel.
Percy and Annabeth had to camp immediately. where they accidentally find an entrance to the labyrinth on the grounds. This means that the Titans can sneak into camp without bothering with the barrier. But the labyrinth can drive a man insane trying to navigate it's so huge and there are so many monsters and traps along the way. You need the string that Ariadne had. and gave it to Theseus to navigate the labyrinth.
Annabeth wants to lead this Quest to find Daedulss's workshop where the string will be kept and make sure that Luke and the Titans don't get it. The Oracle tells her You shall delve in the darkness of the endless maze, The Dead, the traitor, and the lost one raise, You shall rise or fall by the ghost king's hand, And the child of Athena's final stand, Destroy with a hero's final breath. Percy knows there's another line after that but she won't tell him what it is. She decides to take Percy, Grover, who has one week left to find Pan or lose his license for good, and Tyson, even though Chiron advises against it saying that three is a magical number and that all quests have three in them. But she needs these three people and she'll use others besides them.
This book was the best out of the four so far. It contained so many myths as well as the prevailing myth of the labyrinth. It also introduces another girl into the picture mudding up the waters with the Percy/Annabeth thing. This time the campers will actually have to fight and die for the camp but help will come in the unlikeliest places. I can't wait to see what the fifth and final book has in store. I give this book five out of five stars.
