#
4

Content Ratings

Mild Romance
Percy's feelings for Annabeth are acknowledged through close moments and emotional vulnerability; there is a brief kiss; the romantic content is very mild and sweet.
Mild Themes
The stakes of Kronos's return and the possibility of all-out war create genuine tension; the deaths of supporting characters introduce real grief to the series.
Moderate Violence
Battle sequences with Kronos's forces are more sustained and consequential; characters die in the conflict; the threat of full-scale divine war looms over the entire narrative.
Synopsis

Percy and his friends enter the Labyrinth of ancient myth to prevent Kronos's forces from using it to launch a surprise attack on Camp Half-Blood, navigating its shifting corridors and deadly traps while Percy's friendship with Annabeth grows more complicated. The fourth installment is the most intense yet, with higher stakes, more significant losses, and the mounting threat of all-out war with the Titans.
