The Titan's Curse

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Content Ratings

No Romance

Percy begins to develop a growing awareness of his feelings for Annabeth but no romance is explicitly developed; interactions remain at the level of friendship.

Mild Themes

The death of a young character introduces genuine grief to the series; themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and the emerging threat of Kronos add increasing weight.

Mild Violence

Battles with monsters and Titans, the deaths of characters including a young girl who chose a heroic path, carry more emotional weight than earlier entries; violence is fantastical.

Synopsis

Percy must rescue the goddess Artemis and a new demigod named Bianca di Angelo after they are captured, facing the rising threat of the Titan lord Kronos in a cross-country quest involving the Hunters of Artemis. The series begins to introduce longer-term stakes and more emotionally costly consequences as the tone darkens slightly. A strong middle-series entry.
