I always like these graphic novels because they do a good job of capturing the Percy Jackson story in graphic novel format. The drawing is decent (but not great). My main complaint about the illustration is that many times Thalia looks like guy. Additionally sometimes the characters faces are a bit warped and out of perspective. Generally however I enjoy the illustration and color throughout.

The story is one all Percy Jackson fans should be familiar with. I really enjoyed how much Blackjack was in the story and also enjoyed meeting Nico and his sister.

Overall this was a well done telling of The Titan’s Curse in graphic novel format.
This book wasn't as good as the second, but still better than the first.
I'm still having issues with the artwork, and this time it's with Thalia, Nico and Percy. In a lot of scenes I had to double check to know which one of them was it because Bloody hell they all looked alike! It was annoying.
Like, yeah I get it Thalia had short hair and is punk and all but at least make her look more different from the others so I can know it's her, same with Nico.

As for the plot, this graphic novel was less accurate than the second one. They left out many things that I found interesting in the book, and that would have their importance later on in the series.
And most importantly, they left off The dam joke!!!!!!!
I am deeply wounded!
I read this after I read the novel, and found that it followed the story well. I enjoyed seeing the characters as the artist perceived them. A good adaptation.
This book was just too short for my liking. It skipped all over the place and left out too many parts that I liked from the original book.
liked the first two, loved this one :)
