Heroes of Olympus, The, Book Five The Blood of Olympus
Heroes of Olympus, The, Book Five The Blood of Olympus | Rick Riordan
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.

Finished up the series tonight. Everything wrapped up for the most part. Good series overall—lotta pages but good stories and likable characters. Guess there is another coming out next year too.

4✨That was another good ending. I don‘t know much of Greek/Roman mythology, but these books make it entertaining and easy to get a general idea. The set still have the wit and humor that the Percy series have. Time to start the next set. 🥰

On the last book of this series. I owe my knowledge of Greek and Roman mythology to these series and I‘m never bored reading them.
After this book I‘m definitely diving into the other series that are inspired by Egyptian and Norse mythology!

Sienopoli I‘m reading this series again for the second time. Just got to the mark of Athena. He has such a fresh way of presenting these characters. Try Lore and Circe! 3y
butterbeerheist @Sienopoli i will thanks! 3y

Bookish_Viking Trials of Apollo is the sequel series to the Heroes of Olympus series. The next one in that is out I think in September or October. 5y
BookishRedhead @ReaperOfTerrasen I love Trials of Apollo. So excited for the sequal 5y
Bookish_Viking Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard is the first book I read that got me into reading. October 2015 is when I started. Randomly picked up Sword of Summer because it looked interesting. After that book I did the PJ series and by then was completely hooked on books. Riordan was my first, Then S.J. Maas. After that became a full bibliophile and obsessed with books. 5y

Another great adventure from Riordan, this concludes the Heroes of Olympus series but sets up the next phase.

11/20 done for #bookspinbonanza and 1/15 for #15books15weeks - also, my penultimate square for social distancing bingo! All that‘s left is the audiobook (my first, which I started in...March?).

TheHeartlandBookFairy Yay, you're the first one to post a completed book! Happy reading 😁 5y
ravenlee @TheHeartlandBookFairy thanks! I was trying to finish it yesterday but had to give up for the night with just under 100 pages to go. When hubby got up ridiculously early and I couldn‘t get back to sleep I took advantage of some alone time! 5y

Here‘s my tentative stack for @TheHeartlandBookFairy ‘s #15Books15Weeks challenge. Need to finish the tagged and everything below that for #bookspinbonanza. Several others are series continuation, and 9/15 of these count for the library SRP first challenge.

Always subject to change!

Rick Riordan
Jan 1, 2020-TBD
500 pg

Going through the House of Hades stirred the Demigods' worst memories, their ghosts. Jason's is his mother who abandoned him. Reyna's are her ancestors who radiate anger and revenge. Leo's is his doubt that his plan will fail, but he knows one has to die to defeat Gaea. Piper must learn to give herself over to fear. They all have a role to play in the epic finale of the Gods of Olympus Series.

MUST READ!! Well read the first few series and then this series, with the four books in the series in front of it. long line huh? 😂 anyways haven‘t finished it yet so quote...
“Given a choice between death and the Buford Zippy Mary,...” is a hyperbole, it is an exaggeration that he had a choice on death and the Buford Zippy Mary, which is a grocery store. Pg. 356.

So I woke up yesterday really excited that it was library day. Told everyone at work who would listen that it was library day and I was excited. I had just finished The House of Hades the night before and was looking forward to getting the final installment to the series.... Library does not have it. Currently waiting to see if I can get it through a interlibrary loan. Slightly disappointed....

Madelpadel Oh no!!! 😢 5y
Momma_Jo Update: The library called. Apparently they lost the last book on the heros of Olympus series and are going to replace it. I am the first person on the hold list for it..... In the meantime I will continue reading the other few series I have started.... 5y

It's half-term, it's sunny, and I'm feeling good! I finally got around to finishing Rick Riordan's Heroes of Olympus series. I liked it a lot... but I didn't love it as much as I loved the others. There was lots of action and good humour as ever, but I found that the story was split between a lot of characters, and a lot of the important emotional moments had already happened in earlier books. Still a good ending to a fab series.

Currently reading Blood of Olympus! I've had this sitting on my shelf for 2-3 years and just haven't got around to reading it. I'm so glad to be back in this world, I forgot how much I missed all the characters and their dynamics.

I really enjoyed the last book in this series. It was great to see the character development come full circle. The resolution was both epic and satisfying. I was glad to listen to this #audiobook on my long car trip.

Since I'm awake far earlier than I'd hoped to be, I figured I'd dive back into "The Blood of Olympus." I love these characters, and I love Rick Riordan's style. Not looking forward to ending this adventure, though!! ? #heroesofolympus #rickriordan

How many demigods can control the dead anyway? I thought it was exclusively a Hades thing, but apperently not.

I can finally say I have finished 2 Riordan series and I've loved both. I was happy with the ending even if it took forever for me to get there. He's an excellent middle grade writer.

Lauredhel I must go back and pick up where we left off. These were always our read-aloud books, but last year my son decided that we don't do that any more. 😢 😢 8y
AshleyKorinE I love these middle grade books, they are so much fun even at 26! Also they are light reads for in between the heaviness that is life. @Lauredhel 8y

I am blowing Litsy up tonight!!

I loved this series. So much heart. And this was a great conclusion. The ending was just about as perfect as an ending gets. I listened to the whole series on audio and even though I don't like that the narrators changed half way through the series, both narrators did a good job.
