The Blood Of Olympus

The Blood Of Olympus by Rick Riordan, 516 pages

The Olympians are on a quest to stop Gaea from awakening and heal the rift between the Greeks and Romans.  Reyna, Leo and Coach Hedge have undertaken the task of returning the statue of Athena to Camp Half Blood, which would help end the feud between the Greek and Roman camps.  Percy, Jason, Annabeth, Piper, Frank, Hazel and Leo are trying to figure out a way to keep Gaea from waking up, or how to defeat her if she does.  Both groups have many monsters, trials and tribulations to face and the prophecies say that one of them will die.  But Olympians don’t give up so they will fight to the bitter end, and maybe even get some help from the godly parents along the way.  This is the finale to The Heroes of Olympus series, but the way this ends there certainly could be more books with these characters, or at least in this vein.  I would recommend reading these in order.  It had been a while since I read the previous book and it took me some time to catch up and I at least remembered all of the characters.  These books are for kids and teens who like magic, mythology, and adventure.
