The Titan's Curse Book Quiz

1. Who has joined the quest when the story opens at Westover Hall? — Thalia, daughter of Zeus, back from her regeneration in book two. Percy, Annabeth and Grover get a ride to Bar Harbor from Thalia - and the di Angelo kids' rescue at the museum goes wrong within pages.
2. Who are Bianca and Nico di Angelo? — Children of Hades, pulled out of the 1970s by the Lotus Casino. The siblings spent decades in the Lotus Hotel and Casino while the world moved on - their existence is the timeline bomb that detonates fully in book four.
3. What is Dr. Thorn, the assistant principal who starts the trouble? — A manticore in the service of the Titan army. Dr. Thorn poisons the field trip, takes the di Angelos hostage, and shoots poison quills from his tail before the hunters arrive - and he answers to someone called the General.
4. What is Zoë Nightshade's role in the story? — Lieutenant of Artemis's hunters, leading the quest against her father. Zoë is a daughter of Atlas from his Hesperides garden, long exiled for helping Heracles - the quest she leads ends at her father's mountain, where the dragon Ladon's poison and her father's final blow finish her. The stars remember her at the end.
5. While Artemis is held captive, who is bearing the weight of the sky? — Artemis herself, taking Atlas's burden in the titan's place. Percy finds the goddess holding the sky on her shoulders - and for a stretch Annabeth holds it too, the image the whole war is being fought over.
6. Where does Bianca die? — The Junkyard of the Gods, inside a defective prototype of Talos. She dies for a Mythomagic figurine of her little brother - the one selfish thing she allows herself after a childhood spent parenting Nico, inside a bronze giant that malfunctions.
7. Who does the General turn out to be? — Atlas, the titan of endurance, holding up the sky at Mount Tamalpais. The General is Atlas himself - and the climax is not a sword fight but a trick that makes the sky change shoulders one last time.
8. What does Athena warn Percy is his fatal flaw? — Personal loyalty - to save a friend, he would sacrifice the world. 'Your fatal flaw is personal loyalty, Percy. To save a friend, you would sacrifice the world.' The goddess spells it out on the last climb - and the flaw is tested at the end of the final book.

8/8 means you know the book cold; 6+ is a solid score. Below 4, the book is calling you back for a reread.

Easy - same quick first-person voice as the first two books, but the cast doubles: hunters, titans, minor gods and one goddess who changes the prophecy. Middle-grade vocabulary, older-grade stakes. The questions themselves stick to famous, load-bearing moments — the scenes and lines the book is remembered for — so a genuine read usually scores 6+.
