Will Vs. Percy

Both The Lightning Thief series and the Rangers Apprentice series are packed with suspenseful action and plot development.  Both feature both battle strategy and detailed descriptions of battles. Percy Jackson has more mythological characters. Although both series are fictional adventure stories, they both teach you something about history and culture. In Percy Jackson books you learn about Greek mythology, and in Ranger’s Apprentice books you learn about Medieval times.

Percy and Will have to face different creatures such as Percy having to fight a minotaur and Will having to fight wargals. Percy has many different things he has to learn not to be sad about such as his mom fought off the minotaur to help Percy escape to get to safety. Will had traveled to Arauel. But when they travel there they here that Morgarath has advised an attack. When Will and Horace travel to neighboring Celtica to deliver a message about the looming war, they find the area has been abandoned. Morgarath has enslaved the Celts and is using them to build a bridge that will allow his army to descend from the mountains and take Araluen by surprise. Along the way, Will and Horace find a terrified girl named Evanlyn hiding in bushes. The Wargals attacked her party, and she was the sole survivor. She also helps burn the bridge that the Skandians have built.

In both books there are 2 major battle scenes. Such as Will having to burn the bridge the Celts were forced to build. Will, Horace and Evanlyn had to fight to burn the bridge down which is a major battle in the Rangers Apprentice. If they had not burned the bridge Araluen might have been taken over by Morgarath. Percy also has a major battle such as facing Medusa one of the evilest creatures known to the gods. Percy and his friends have to find out a way to kill her. The only way you can kill her is by cutting her head off. That is exactly what he does to kill her. But if you look into her eyes you will turn to stone. That is the only challenge he has to face while the verses Medusa.

These 2 books have many differences but also have their similarities. Major battle scenes are books that will interest many different people. There are many different books to each series and they are all very good books but different plots and characters. All though they have differences they will always have similarities.
