Publisher's Summary

Percy Jackson isn't expecting freshman orientation to be any fun. But when a mysterious mortal acquaintance appears on campus, followed by demon cheerleaders, things quickly move from bad to worse.

In this latest installment of the blockbuster series, time is running out as war between the Olympians and the evil Titan lord, Kronos, draws near. Even the safe haven of Camp Half-Blood grows more vulnerable by the minute as Kronos' army prepares to invade its once impenetrable borders. To stop the invasion, Percy and his demigod friends must set out on a quest through the Labyrinth - a sprawling underground world with stunning surprises at every turn.

Full of humor and heart-pounding action, this audiobook promises to be their most thrilling adventure yet.

It's a awesome series even as an adult reader...

but I would have rated the performance a lot higher if it weren't for the fact that Jesse Bernstein's accents were over the top. Jesse is a great narrator and I often enjoy listening to him but his accents for some of the characters were off and in particular the "Asian" accent was offensive. I state accent because he just uses one, which is poorly done and honestly Mr Yunoshi bad. In book 3 he uses the same accent for a female Asian character.

I am sure this was not done intentionally or meant to offend but I was really disappointed to listen to his attempt at a generic "Asian" accent. Unfortunately one of the characters is of Asian descent and I had to listen to the bad attempt throughout a couple of chapters. It really ruined my enjoyment of the book overall.

I usually do not write reviews but I felt as someone who is of Asian heritage, I needed to express this as there isn't a lot of representation for us in the North American mainstream. I was sadden by Jesse's attempt at portraying an Asian character.

Great Novel...Not so Great Reader

I love these novels. Unfortunately I get really irritated by the random accents and inconsistent voices between the various novels (Grovers Voice changes 3 times?). Some of his accents are even borderline offensive (some more blatantly offensive). Also, he cant pronounce basic Greek Mythological terms at times or uses those with multiple pronunciation options inconsistently. Frankly, its quite grating. It got worse with each novel...

Amazing Story with a Subpar Voice Actor.

I love this book series and I have read it many times before going for the audiobook and I have found the voice actor does not match well with the series. He has a very limited range of voices. Every male sounds either squeeky, surfer, or vaguely old. It's very hard to tell apart when two are speaking. The girls all sound very similar. The actor also puts on really stereotypical and kinda racist accents for bipoc characters especially Ethan Nakamura which was the straw that broke the camels back for me. Rick Riordan worked hard to diversify the cast as he grew as a writer and the voice actor doesn't reflect that. He also struggles greatly with conveying the proper tones characters, especially the female characters. Such as Annabeth at one points snaps at Percy but the actor says it in the same melancholy tone as he mostly plays Annabeth which for me stripped her character of a lot of her fire.
These books are one of my favourite series even now as an adult but the voice actor really doesn't carry the weight of the series.

Percy Jackson

I like the voices and the story line. I think Thalia sounds mad all the time though. I also like the tones of voice for all the other characters too though.

I love Percy Jackson!

The books are very fun and give a nice mystical feel because it’s about magic and gods and overall I love it.

I don’t quite like the way Jesse Bernstein does some of the voices but that’s about all I have to complain about. Though the way he did that one giant in the maze’s voice made me die of laughter.

Great book!

Great story

Best of the series so far. The characters are very relatable, even though they are half bloods, they are flawed. They still have the aspect of them that is human which makes them spontaneous and dangerous
