This is the third installment of the Heroes of Olympus
series, which for some reason I assumed was the last. When I got to the last hundred pages I
realized that this couldn’t possibly be the last one because there was nowhere
near enough time to wrap everything up.
And I’m really glad that I still have two more books to look forward to,
these books are too much fun to end yet.
The story picks up right after the end of the last
one—Percy, Frank, and Hazel are at the Roman camp awaiting the arrival of
Jason, Annabeth, Piper, and Leo. There
are all aware that they are the group that is prophesized to fight Gaea in
Greece and that to win they need to unite the Roman and Greek demigods. Of course right away things do not go well,
when Leo is possessed and starts firing his ship’s weapons on the Roman
camp. After a hasty getaway, the group
travels to Rome to fight Gaea’s forces, while Annabeth is tasked with a mission
from her mother that no other child of Athena had successfully completed.
This installment was just as good as the others. But it ends with a pretty significant
cliffhanger and I have been frustrated with anticipation since I finished
it. Obviously I enjoyed the book, and if
you have liked the previous books in the series, you probably will too.
