Heroes of Olympus: The Blood of Olympus book review:

I thought that after this book I was going to have to say goodbye to the Percy Jackson world and I was devastated. These are my favourite books by far. They're a mixture of everything I love: mythology, action, adventure and a bit of magic. I feel like I've grown to know these characters and they're like distance relative you don't see often but know will always be there for you. However, this isn't the end. There is another book called Trials of Apollo. This book is about Apollo turning human as a punishment and has to go to Camo Half-Blood to keep safe. If you knew about this book while reading Blood of Olympus you could see what was going to happen and I'm really excited to see what happens so you'll definitely see the Trials of Apollo on this blog at some point. 

   In this book, I didn't realise how much I missed Percy's humour. Since in the last book he didn't have very many happy moments you missed all his funny comments. Leo is just as funny maybe even more so but you can't help but miss Percy. What I would love is a short story where Leo and Percy face a weird looking monster and defeat it with silly comments. That would make my day. 

   One thing I have loved a lot in this book is the bromance between Percy and Jason. It's even better since their Godly parents disagree with each other over everything. It just adds to it in my opinion. Percy must be a rebel in the God's eyes as his girlfriend is the daughter of a God his dad doesn't see eye to eye with and the same with Jason. Also, the way he treated the Gods after the battle of Manhattan. They are one of the most epic bromances but a close second is Frank and Leo. I never think I would say they is a bromance between Frank and Leo but there really is. 

One of the newest characters is Hylla. Just the fact that she punched a wolf and lifted a car and threw it as a weapon is undeniably cool. Also, the alliance between the Hunter of Artemis and the Amazons is amazing. That  is all I'm going to say because as you can tell I think this is a great book and don't want to ruin it in the slightest. 

Thanks for reading. I'm really excited about the Trials of Apollo and I'll see you next post.

Heroes of Olympus: The House of Hades book review:

I didn't realise how much I loved Rick's little jokes until I saw the note he made at the start of this one. In the last post I told you about how there was a really good/bad ending. Well Rick must have felt like an evil mastermind because:

This really made me laugh when I first saw it and it started the in a funny way. 

   One character I do feel sorry for is Leo. Everyone else on the Argo II has a girlfriend/boyfriend however as there are seven of them on the boat Leo doesn't. I'm not saying that you need a girlfriend or boyfriend to be happy however everyone else goes off with their other half while is Leo is left with Coach Hedge who always talks about killing and who also has a girlfriend of his own. Also, Leo always finds a way to blame himself for everything bad that happens. Even when it's the smallest thing that he could have done he'll blame himself for everything. The worst part is that he has nobody to talk to. Everyone sort goes off in pairs and forgets that Leo might need someone too. 

   One thing I did love about this book in the new settings. (If you haven't read the books before this yet then skip this paragraph to miss the spoiler.) Since no demigods have been to Tartarus we've never had a description of the place. However, now Percy and Annabeth are there we finally know what it's like there. Also, because of Percy being there you can guarantee that there are going to be some laughs. The fact that a demigods is in the worst part of the underworld where even Hades can't go and he made another demigod laugh should be a near impossible thing to do. Yet with is being Percy he still does it. 

I love the idea of different narrators as this helps both sides of the story progress when the characters get split up. This also create cliffhangers when the narrator changes which keeps me really interested in the books. 

Thanks for reading and I'll see you in the next post.
