Book 5 Placeholder Cover

After the recent confusion surrounding the title of book 5 in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, fans finally have a definite answer. Rick Riordan announced on his blog today that the title for book five will be Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Last Olympian. USA Today broke the news concerning the title yesterday, and you can read the complete article here. The book will be released May 5, 2009.

So, now that the title is official, the question is what does this mean for Percy and his fellow demigods? We know that the prophecy surrounding Percy’s sixteenth birthday will be revealed in this book, but what will this mean for the other Olympians?

Okay, I need some time to think about this (and to stop hyperventilating). To Percy fans everywhere, you are now free to go forth and ponder :)

Yay, I just learned about the new polls on WordPress! Let’s see how this baby works :)
