The Sea of Monsters may now get its driver’s license.

A cyclops that just won’t die, and a daughter of Ares that just won’t shut the **** up! All this and more (though not too much more) on the sixteenth part of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters…

I Go Down with the Ship

So this one’s a pretty short chapter, which now makes me feel a little badly about taking so long to get this post up. (Sorry. I’ve been busy with preparations for the A Memory in the Black re-release.) It’s nearly all action, so it moves quickly, as will this post. [Read more…]

In which Michael is repeatedly made a fool of.

In which Michael is repeatedly made a fool of.
But in a good way.

In this corner: Polyphemus the Giant Cyclops! In THIS corner: Nobody! That’s can only mean that it’s time for the fifteenth part of Michael Reads Percy Jackson: The Sea of Monsters…

Nobody Gets the Fleece

Okay, this is just an excellent chapter. The action is fast and flowing, we get Tyson back (along with the humor that comes from his being around), and I was surprised on multiple occasions.

By 8 Comments

I have faced the zombie at the base of Seattle’s Queen Anne Hill and emerged victorious!
