About this ebook

Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen—all of them, and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood—the blood of Olympus—in order to wake. The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it might be able to stop a war between the two camps. The Athena Parthenos will go west; the Argo II will go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea's army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over.

Ratings and reviews

It started off with my excitement, but the further I read the more I found my self tolerating, skimming have you, through Jason Pipers and Leo's POV chapters. Like they couldn't fill the void that I wanted so much from this book. But the story did keep me captivated with Reyna and Nicos pov. They had a real effect on the story for me that I wish Rick put in with the others POV. It just feels like he didn't have all his heart into the final book we fans truly carved.

When I finished House of Hades I was so excited for Blood of Olympus. After reading this book however I find myself...dissatisfied and disappointed. I felt things were rushed and sloppily placed together. The characters were really OC too. Anyway, I really enjoyed this series as a whole. Piper, Jason, Leo, all the new characters introduced will forever hold a place in my heart. Ill never be ready to say good bye but I think its time. Thanks Rick for the adventure of a lifetime.

If you want make unhelpful comments about any character(ex gay, loser, ext) go find somewhere else to disillusion all the fans of rick Riordan's greatest series yet. Second, if by some chance you have any information about the book( doubtful) then keep it to your selves, nobody wants you to spoil the book, as I'm sure you wouldn't want me to spoil it for you, that includes giving out case info just for a laugh,z that's sick and sadistic.
