The Heroes of Olympus, Book Four: The House of Hades
The Heroes of Olympus, Book Four: The House of Hades | Rick Riordan
At the conclusion of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy tumble into a pit leading straight to the Underworld. The other five demigods have to put aside their grief and follow Percy's instructions to find the mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through the Gaea's forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors from both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape? They have no choice. If the demigods don't succeed, Gaea's armies will never die. They have no time. In about a month, the Romans will march on Camp Half-Blood. The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths of Tartarus.

Unabridged Audiobook (10/10):
I never thought that these would keep getting better and better, yet Rick Riordan never fails to blow me away. There‘s a lot of heart shown throughout this story, especially with Percy and Annabeth, but the best friendship we see fleshed out in my eyes is that of Jason and Nico. Two of the most unlikely friends, but they come closer together and showcase just how important it can be to have one person in your corner.

Book 4 of 5. Another good installment of the series. I felt like this one started concluding some of the major themes though the final themes obviously remain. Feels like a lot to keep going straight through but I still plan to move quickly to the last book. (Though I see the author plans another book in this series to be released fall 2023.

As always this was an exciting and entertaining read, but also more tense and "dark" (pun intended for the adventures in the Tartarus!)
Can't wait to read the end of the series, and I hope all these characters that I learned to love will have their happy ending!

This was my #doublespin for October @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 1y

3✨As the name suggests Percy and Annabeth are roughing it in the underworld. The rest of the demigod gang come to find them. Interesting ideas and action throughout. Plus one character comes out. I wish I enjoyed it more I have just had a lot going on lately so my head wasn‘t completely in the story.

This is an extremely good book and it is the 4th instalment in the series. It follow Percy Jackson and Annabeth as they navigate through Tartarus the deepest part of the underworld in Greek mythology. They face many hardships and challenges along the way. The characters come face to face with death at every turn and it is a thrilling experience. All around great book 10/10 recommend it.

MissYaremcio Love Rick Riordan! Such a great author! I was just missing the motif and explanation 4/6 3y

I just love these books. I‘m eager to finish the series, but I‘m going to wait a bit and read something else to savor longer. Saving the extra stories for later, too.

This was my #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks and this month is going much better than last! This is also my D - Daring for my #COVID19challenge. Another square done on my bingo card, weapon on the cover. AND I‘ve climbed Mt Vancouver for my unofficial Mount TBR challenge!

I‘m ridiculously late posting my goals for #EasterExtravaganza but here goes: finish the tagged book (not sure if I‘ll save the two bonus short stories or dive in) for #doublespin, finish the Nancy Drew with the kiddo (so close to finishing the series!), work on my audiobook (The Birchbark House), and read at least two other books. Not timing, bc that hasn‘t gone well recently.
Thanks @Andrew65 for hosting.

Andrew65 Some great goals, good luck. I‘m not timing either. 😊👍 4y
TheAromaofBooks So are you going to read the Hardy Boys after you finish with Nancy?? 4y
ravenlee @TheAromaofBooks I only have the first Hardy Boys book! But we‘re both ready for something different, after spending a year and a half reading Nancy straight through. Not sure what it‘ll be, though. 4y
TheAromaofBooks I always loved Trixie Belden as well, but it's been a long time since I read them! 4y
ravenlee @TheAromaofBooks my sister has the Trixies, but we never had the full series. Just random selections. 4y

Urban Fantasy
Rick Riordan
Dec 23 '19 - Dec 31 '19
800 pages

The Demigod Crew of Argo II are at one of many crossroads. They could return home with the Athena Parthenos to stop the Roman and Greek camps from going to war. Or they could continue on their quest to find the House of Hades, where they might be able to open the Doors of Death, rescue Percy and Annabeth hopefully on time, if they survived, and prevent monsters from being reincarnated.

Per usual when it comes to a Percy story, an exciting and entertaining read. This one was much more tense then priors and a touch more gut wrenching. I‘m sure the conclusion will be even more harsh given the optimistic ending of this one...but I bet it was also be fantastic.

I find I enjoy listening to audiobooks when I cook. I can stay busy and pay attention to the audiobook. 🙂

Jinjer Now that‘s interesting because I cannot follow the recipe instructions and measurements if I‘m listening to a book. Can‘t talk on the phone either. 5y
Allydanielle88 @Jinjer if it's something intricate like baking and I've never done it. I have to turn it off, but foods I have made before are fine for me. I can completely agree with talking on the phone. I lose concentration when I talk. 5y
Jinjer @Allydanielle88 Just to be clear I meant I can‘t follow a recipe while talking to someone on the phone. 5y
Allydanielle88 @Jinjer I was pretty sure that's what you meant. 👍🏻 I mean either way the answer would be the same 😄 5y
Jinjer @Allydanielle88 Ok 😆My mind was completely gone and I read my first response and I‘m like what am I saying here??? I‘m glad you understood me. 😜 5y

My favorite of this series so far. I loved watching Percy, Annabeth, Frank, Hazel, Leo, Jason, Piper, and even Nico each grow as they're making tough decisions.

If there was a TV show of these guys I would totally watch it. The gods and goddesses that show up could be special guest stars.

I found these on the clearance shelf yesterday and couldn't resist. At some point I will sit down and read all of this series.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I loved the original series, I haven‘t read any of the extended yet. I did read the first 2 (I think) of the Egyptian mythology series. 6y
InLibrisVeritas @Riveted_Reader_Melissa I loved the original as well. I have the first book of this series and the first of the Egyptian series, but I own almost all of his books. I am so behind on everything 😅 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @InLibrisVeritas Me too! We‘ll get there. If not before, and not in the new group, maybe after we catch-up our Star Wars we‘ll have to do a Rick Riordan catch-up. 6y
InLibrisVeritas @Riveted_Reader_Melissa That's an idea! I might actually get through my backlist thanks to Litsy 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @InLibrisVeritas Seems only fair, since Litsy gives me all the great recommendations that led me away from my normal comfort zone reads and helped create my huge (growing larger every day) backlist. 6y

I've been enjoying another book in The Heroes of Olympus series. I love how Riordan's creativity in meshing the mythological with the modern world. This book had some excellent character development, with each character getting a chance to be in the spotlight. Riordan balances so many main characters like a pro. I can't wait to listen to the next #audiobook.

The quote is the dedication from House of Hades, but the cliffhanger is at the end of Mark of Athena. And it's a doozy. I read the series for the first time last summer, and after finishing Athena, I had the children's librarian at my local library search the back room for House of Hades. The catalog said it was there, but it wasn't on the shelf, and I HAD to have it. She totally understood (and she found it for me). #cliffhangers #maybookflowers
