Rick Riordan

Percys siebtes Schuljahr verläuft einigermaßen ruhig - einigermaßen. Wenn da nicht diese Albträume wären, in denen sein bester Freund in Gefahr schwebt. Und tatsächlich: Grover befindet sich in der Gewalt eines Zyklopen. Zu allem Übel ist Camp Half-Blood nicht mehr sicher: Jemand hat den Baum der Thalia vergiftet, der die Grenzen dieses magischen Ortes bisher geschützt hat. Nur das goldene Vlies kann da noch helfen. Wird es Percy gelingen, Grover und das Camp zu retten? Das dürfte für einen Halbgott wie ihn eigentlich kein Problem sein. Doch seine Feinde haben noch einige böse Überraschungen auf Lager ...

Percy Jackson - Im Bann des Zyklopen (Percy Jackson 2)

When Thalia’s tree is mysteriously poisoned, the magical borders of Camp Half-Blood begin to fail.  Now Percy and his friends have just days to find the only magic item powerful to save the camp before it is overrun by monsters.  The catch: they must sail into the Sea of Monsters to find it.  Along the way, Percy must stage a daring rescue operation to save his old friend Grover, and he learns a terrible secret about his own family, making him question whether being the son of Poseidon is an honor or a curse.

The Sea of Monsters

Tyson was terrified of them. All through the tour, he insisted Annabeth hold his hand, which she didn’t look too thrilled about.

"Hurry, Percy,” he muttered. “Please, please, please!”

Sure, he was strong, but Tyson was a little kid in Cyclops terms, maybe seven or eight years old, mentally.

"...you can’t give up on your family, no matter how tempting they make it. It doesn’t matter if they hate you, or embarrass you, or simply don’t appreciate your genius for inventing the Internet."

oh perseus and annabeth, i will fucking hurt you both if any of you hurt that little cyclops boy. istg.

“It is okay. I will be a good monster. Then you will not have to be mad.”

hii soo can we maybe STOPPPP (and i mean permanently cease from) calling my tyson baby an 

"... Until it proves worthy of destruction, we need a place to keep it!"

With that, he clopped out of the apartment and down the hall, Tyson calling after him, “Pony! Don’t go!”

god he's sooo stinkin cute! rip tyson, you would've died for 

As soon as we saw him, Tyson froze. “Pony!” he cried in total rapture. 

Chiron turned, looking offended. “I beg your pardon?”

that's sooo cute. god, i love tyson. they could never make me hate you baby

"They grow up wild on the streets. I don’t know how this one found you, but he obviously likes you."

i hate how every time i see the word "squabble" i think of kendrick and just go 

The three gray ladies were too busy squabbling to pay me any

Monsters don’t die. They just dissipate into smoke and dust, which saves heroes a lot of trouble cleaning up after a fight.

“ "I prayed to Daddy for help. Soon the people at Meriwether found me. Met you. Biggest blessing ever. 

Sorry I said Poseidon was mean. He sent me a brother."”

“"He sent you to help me. Just what I asked for." 

I blinked. "You asked Poseidon for . . . me?" 

“The last thing I remembered was sinking in a burning sea, knowing that Tyson was gone forever, and wishing I were able to drown.”

“But whenever Annabeth talked about the time she’d spent with them, I kind of felt . . . I don’t know. Uncomfortable? 

“My mom hoped I would inherit Perseus’s luck. Judging by how my life was going so far, I wasn’t real optimistic.”

“Well . . . because he had rotten luck. Even worse than mine. It makes me feel better.”

“Europa fell off and died along the way, but that’s not important.” 

“Any killing will result in harsh punishment. No s’mores at the campfire for a week! ”

“Now I know,” Tantalus continued, raising his voice, “that these races were discontinued some years ago due to, ah, technical problems.” 

“Three deaths and twenty-six mutilations,” someone at the Apollo table called.”

“The bull must’ve been as surprised as I was, because before it could unleash a second blast, Tyson balled his fists and slammed them into the bull’s face. “BAD COW!”

“I was pretty much his only friend, which meant he was my only friend.”

same old Percy and his little silly jokes 

“They just dissipate into smoke and dust, which saves heroes a lot of trouble cleaning up after a fight.”

He thinks I’m a lady Cyclops and he wants to marry me!

Demi-god Percy Jackson and his friends must journey into the Sea of Monsters to save their camp. But first Percy will discover a secret that makes him wonder whether being claimed as Poseidon's son is an honor or a cruel joke.

(The scene with annabeth and where the sirens are there. It made me cry. WHY?)

Percy Jackson, the young demi-god, is back for his second exciting adventure in the bestselling series by Rick Riordan. You can't tell by looking at me that my dad is Poseidon, God of the Sea. It's not easy being a half-blood these days. You mortals can't even see the monsters we have to fight all the time. So when a game of dodgeball turned into a death match against an ugly gang of cannibal giants, I couldn't exactly ask my gym teacher for help. And that was just for starters. This is the one where Camp Half Blood is under attack, and unless I get my hands on the Golden Fleece, the whole camp will be invaded by monsters. Big ones. Can Percy survive the treacherous Sea of Monsters and restore order to Half-Blood Hill?

anyway THE END ?!! ANNABETH AND PERCY ?????? EVERYTHING ?????

that was even better than the first time i read it

ploral

I enjoyed this book a bit more than the first one, but again did feel like they did spell out major things for each event in the book. But I know this is a kids book - so again enjoyed for what it was!

** spoiler alert **
           For a book that is aimed at a much younger audience than me, I found it really funny. The situations and characters in this book are hilariously strange and Rick Riordan’s way of merging Greek mythology with the modern world made me laugh out loud in several places. 

I mean C.C’s spa, Percy not realising that Tyson is a Cyclops because he doesn’t look him in his face and Monster Doughnuts.... why weren’t these books out when I was 11-12?

For some reason, this book was subtly boring than the rest of the books in the series. It took me a longer time to read it.

Nanthanat Chompradist

I was totally hooked from beginning to end. This book has no boring bits. Super enjoyable read👏🏻

(I want to give Tyson a big big hug. He is such a baby🤏🏻👼🏻)

After reading this, I felt like I liked it more than the first book honestly. This book was, again, lighthearted, action-packed, and super nostalgic. I did not read this one when I was a kid but I definitely wish I would have because I think that it would have set me up to read so many more books as a child. In this one, we are introduced to Tyson and we are on a mission to save Grover on his quest to find Pan. This book is set mostly in the ocean and on cliff sides as Percy, Annabeth, and a couple others attempt to navigate the treacherous waters and the gods along the way. Definitely read this book as it is a great continuation of the first and will set you up for a long-term investment in the series.

Im just rereading the whole series due to the disney show, Percy Jackson will always be a masterpiece to me. Uncle Ricks writing is just top tier 🤌🏻 Even if im a whole ass adult now, the books never disappoint and are as entertaining as ever.

Non-stop action

No doubt this is quite an entertaining book - there's a rollercoaster of constant action and I've got a lot of time for the ancient Greek mythology. However, it is very simple and doesn't feel quite as re-read able as the Harry Potter's as an adult.

The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan is a retelling of the Odyssey and continues the story arc begun in The Lightning Thief. This time Clarissa is sent on the official Camp Half Blood quest but Percy and his friends though have their own agenda, namely to save Grover.

I'm going to let you in on a secret. My favorite character isn't Percy or any of the other Camp Half Blood heroes. Nope. My favorite character who shows up in The Sea of Monsters for the first time is Tyson, the young cyclops.

Tyson brings humanity to the other side of the Gods' infidelities. Gods have children who are gods, demigods and (yes) monsters. The Gods aren't fair or just parents; they show favoritism and they ignore others. Tyson like most monsters is cast aside, growing up on the fringes of human society. He's a rare one though in that he gets a second chance, being befriended by Percy and therefore brought into favor with Poseidon.

The book begins with Percy and Tyson being friends. Percy's aware that Tyson isn't quite normal but he figures it's because he's a homeless kid and just hasn't had the same support other kids have had. Later, of course, he has to rethink the friendship when he learns that Tyson is a very young cyclops and therefore a monster and a half brother.

Two factors made me love Tyson from the get-go. The first is his eager, toddler approach to things. From how he acts he seems about the same age (or cyclops equivalent) as my daughter. So there's a motherly connection.

My second bonding point comes from Percy's sudden realization that he's a big brother. I was only child until I was seven. My brother was born three weeks before my birthday. So that birthday just felt ruined by everyone cooing over the baby. It took a long time for me to adjust to being a sister and to finally warm to and ultimately love my sibling.

When Camp Half-Blood, the only safe haven for demigods, nears the verge of being overrun by mythological monsters, Percy and his friends must venture to find his best friend Grover.

passei o livro inteiro com medo do tyson morrer mas ele tá vivo amém

Athiril Ard

tulis sekarang aja deh, dari pada lupa entar kalo ditunda-tunda wkwk

di awal-awal, jujur aja, boring banget bacanya. sempet kepikiran buat DNF aja deh. hampir setengah buku lebih maksa buat terus baca dan terus

nahh, di setengah akhir ini, tapi kayanya pas bagian Polyme-pokoknya-monster-dajjal yang itu, baru deh keseruannya nongol

penyelamatan Grover kerasa ngeri, merinding, tapi bikin ngakak. ga tau deh, Uncle Rick bener-bener kelewatan bisa nyampurin ketiga hal itu jadi satu.

dan di ending, aku ngakak bagian Martha dan George

mereka kopel yang soswit

The Sea Of Monsters

9/10

akhirnya nemu kopel terbaik yang non-manusia: George dan Martha

wkwk

This is one of the reasons I love reading Series Back-to-back as it just means that I can keep the storylines and characters all in my head & really feel like I’m there with them on their quests and adventures, so this felt amazing to be right back with them! Once again, we are thrown right in to the action and adventure as it was time for the next quest for Percy and his Friends!

Set Some - time after the events of The Lighting Thief, Camp Half Blood protection spells starts waning to the point of almost breaking apart completely, leaving its borders wide open and unprotected from monster attacks. Upon the impending destruction of the only haven left for demigods, Percy, Annabeth, Tyson and Clarisse embark on a desperate quest to find the Golden Fleece, the only sacred relic capable of healing Thalia’s Tree and restore its defensive powers. On a separate plane, Grover missing and possibly subject of a fatal destiny. His time running short, or maybe already too late.

This one was a fab sequel, it was lovely to see Percy and Annabeth grow as characters and I feel like they have really connected in this one after working closely together, but across all the characters arcs in this one. However, this one felt a little slower than the first but still as action packed with epic memorable moments and incredible battles against mythological figures. The ending was spectacular, hilarious, crazy, and terrible. And an absolutely mind blowing cliff-hanger that makes me excited for Book 3!
