  1. I love how simple this is. You managed to paint a clear, concise picture of the quest, without using too many words. I haven’t even read any Percy Jackson books, but I can grasp the general idea from your explanation. I completely agree that quests make for intriguing stories. Wonderful job (as usual)!

  2. Hi Faith! Well done with your post as I enjoyed the simplicity of it. I have never read Percy Jackson before but I have heard things about it, and from your description of it, this book most certainly qualifies as a quest! Your description of why we see quest over and over again was spot on. Good job!
