House of Hades

            I have just read The House of hades by Rick Riordan. It was a fantastic book; the last book left you with a serious cliff hanger; literally! two of the main characers Percy and Annabeth were hanging on a cliff that went straight to Tarturas. they then fell and the book said "House of Hades coming fall of 2013". GAAAA! what the heck Rick! Although at the sake of us readers' sanity House of hades was released. through the book you went back and forth between character's point of views as he does in this series, from the crew on earth, and percy and annabeth in Tarturas. The plot and storyline was full of danger, fear, and pure hellish experience for annabeth and percy. Insider this was immense growth and development of characters. Especially in the mysterious Nico. With a suprise that, at least for me, made him kind of loose his kick-butt, son of hades death aura a little bit but at least we understand him better. I believe that the plot development was great as it developed each and every character in their own way and rose to the climax of the final plan and battles that will occur in the next book, "The Blood of Olympus". ialso get a new favorite character; The Titan Bob(Iapetus), who is Hade's janitor. After this series is over i would love a little epilogue book when they are adults. Heck even a little chapter like in Harry potter. Anyways this book was fnatastic, and was not the same plot as the earlier series or a "rip of his own Books" as some people say. This aggrivates me people would say that this series is action-packed, one of a kind, Homer worthy story.

  1. Nice Post Josh! And yeah, this series has too many cliff hangers, it gets alittle annoying. Can't wait for the final book to come out.
