Rick Riordan's next book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is The Titan's Curse, which takes place during Percy's winter break from school, picking up a few months after the previous book.
This book starts out with an extraction mission: Grover requested help in getting a couple of demigods (who don't know about the existence of gods) safely out of their school and into Camp Half-Blood. So Percy and Annabeth and the new friend Percy met at the end of the last book get together to help out.
Although they run into trouble along the way, and Annabeth falls off a cliff, the mission is, in all, considered a success.
But trouble is still brewing, and the goddess Artemis makes a personal appearance to say so. What worries Percy the most is that Artemis looks worried.
And of course, what Rick Riordan book would be complete without a quest and a deadline?
Although this book also has a twist ending, it's different in the way
that Percy reacts to it. Rather than rethink everything he thought he knew again,
he decides to step up and take full responsibility for his own future.
He makes the insane decision that, regardless of whatever else comes his
way, the Great Prophecy that everyone has been talking about for the
past few decades is going to be about him.
Fair warning: Although this book has a couple of my favorite scenes in the entire series, there are also two death scenes.
