This interaction is one the series has been leading up to since 'The Sea of Monsters,' when Annabeth tells Percy that he and Thalia are so alike that they either 'would've been best friends or would've strangled each other,' so getting to see them trying to work together without Annabeth or Grover to keep them in line is, as might have been predicted, not pretty. The chapter opens on Percy and Grover spending the morning sitting in the meadow, talking through a nightmare Percy had before getting to the action of the chapter: Thalia and Percy acting as co-captains in a game of capture the flag. In many ways, 'The Titan's Curse' marks a clear shift in the series as it moves into heavier territory, and this chapter actually takes that journey within itself. An Old Dead Friend Comes to Visit (The Titan's Curse) The chapter is full of moments that lead to larger plot points, and it's exciting to see those moments planted here before the chapter reaches its exciting conclusion.ĩ. In the chapters that follow, it is revealed that Percy's improvised escape plan that led to him burning to death Anakin Skywalker style actually woke Typhon, Grover's decision to split off from the group allowed him to complete his quest to find Pan, and the unknown weapon the telekhines are forging was actually Kronos' scythe, completed just in time for his resurrection. The chapter introduces Typhon and the threat he poses, Grover and Tyson's decision to split up from the crew to find Pan, and the revelation that the telekhines inside the forge are actually using it to create a weapon Percy doesn't recognize. Both moments stand out in the end, but this chapter is also filled with smaller details and plot points that become essential as the series continues, disguised as a simple quest for Hephaestus gone sour. Percy's attempt to escape the telekhines, on the other hand, begins with Percy screaming while being soaked in lava and consumed by fire, and ends with him discovering that he may have inherited some of his father's 'Earthshaker' abilities in the process, as he causes the entire volcano to erupt in an attempt to free himself.

The kiss is short and Percy is forced to move on from it quickly, but it's so delightfully unexpected and followed by so much discomfort later on in the book It's always fun to see Percy and Annabeth in the constantly clumsy early stages of their relationship. This chapter starts off the list mainly for its final moments, when Percy and Annabeth have their first kiss and Percy has his epic, if a little painful to read, stand-off against the telekhines.
