The book that I have just finished is The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan. The book is about Percy Jackson. He seems like a normal kid but he is actually is a Demigod. Percy is even the son of one of the Big Three. His father is Poseidon, the god of the sea. In a prophecy told long ago that the child of the oldest male god shall reach 16 and lead Camp Half-Blood in war against the Titan King Kronos. The heroes won't get any help from the gods because the are fighting an old enemy. They are fighting Typhon.
In The Last Olympian there are many themes. Like coming of age, heroes, justice, loyalty, survival, and war. But one of the main themes in The Last Olympian is war. I think that one of the main theme is war, because in the middle of the book a war between the demigods and the titans begins. Another reason why I think that one of the main themes is war, is because when Percy was leaving is mom's house and she asked where he was going he had said "“I go to war. . . . Me against Kronos. And only one of us will survive.”
Another theme could be manipulation. It could be manipulation because Kronos had manipulated the son of Hermes, Luke Castellan to be his host. Kronos could not have been able to come back without a host, so he saw an opportunity in trying to trick Luke into being his host because all of the things that has happened in his past. Luke had started to hate his father because he was never there for him so Kronos was able to trick Luke into betraying Camp Half-Blood.
