ReviewsPRAISE FOR THE SON OF NEPTUNE "Should pacing and wit continue unabated into the third volume, whose foretold European setting promises further freshness, fans will eagerly await numbers four and five."-- Kirkus, PRAISE FOR THE LOST HERO "Readers longing for a return to Camp Half-Blood will get their wish.... ...the action scenes come frequently as the three heroic teens fight monstrous enemies in North American locales..... Flashes of humor lighten the mood at times, but a tone of urgency and imminent danger seems as integral to this series as the last. With appealing new characters within a familiar framework, this spin-off will satisfy the demand for more." -- Booklist, PRAISE FOR THE SON OF NEPTUNE "Fans will find plenty to cheer about as Percy and his allies move slowly toward fulfilling the mysterious Prophecy of Seven."-- Booklist, PRAISE FOR THE MARK OF ATHENA "With a true storyteller's sense of pacing, Riordan creates another compelling adventure, right down to the cliff-hanger at the end. Stay tuned for volume four."-- Booklist, PRAISE FOR THE LOST HERO "Readers longing for a return to Camp Half-Blood will get their wish.... ...the action scenes come frequently as the three heroic teens fight monstrous enemies in North American locales.....

SynopsisIn the breathtaking fifth and final book in Rick Riordan's #1 best-selling Heroes of Olympus series, the Greek and Roman demigods must simultaneously prevent Gaea from waking and stop war from breaking out at Camp Half-Blood. 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., 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.

    The book was a good read. Also the hardback book i bought was of exceptional quality. Thin very durable pages on an oversize print book.

  • Blood of Olympus

    Quite an addictive book, much like the other books in the series and the rest of the books by Rick Riordan. If anyone were to ask me if I recommend this book, it would be a resounding yes. I love the way that each chapter is told by a character of the book. I will be starting a new Riordan series soon.
