Blood of Olympus

The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan, 516 pages

This is the final book in Riordan's Heroes of Olympus series. The plot follows the group of demigods on their quest to save the world from a vengeful Gaea waking from her sleep. On the other side of the world, two other demigods and their satyr chaperone are must deliver the 40-foot-tall Athena of Parthenos to Long Island to prevent war between the feuding Greek and Roman camps.
I felt that this book tried to pack in to much and from too many different perspectives. There were times when it was difficult to distinguish certain characters from each other, especially when they  followed the same plot thread and from both perspectives. I think this book is worth reading if you've read the others, but overall it felt a little to fast-paced and it isn't an entirely satisfying conclusion to a decent series.
