About this audiobook

All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of a victory are grim. Kronos’s army is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil Titan’s power only grows.

While the Olympians struggle to contain the rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Now it’s up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time.

In this momentous final book in the New York Times best-selling series, the long-awaited prophecy surrounding Percy’s sixteenth birthday unfolds. And as the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate.

Ratings and reviews

book is good, reader is bad. he has terrible character voices. made persephone sound like some sort of zombie and will randomly give people lisps or affectations that make them harder to understand

I've read all the books about four times just kidding I've read the all about a dozen times love Greek mythology and how Rick writing Incorporated it through modern world recommended to families and anyone that loves adventure looking to get the whole entire series thank you Rick Riordan for giving us good stories to read.

I just got done telling my friends I like the books he writes but the characters were brought to life with the first reader and I'm very upset with the new voices I didn't pay for those I purchased it when you had a different reader and the download shouldn't have changed dissatisfied but I still like the book
