About this deal

I simply love the multiple character POVs throughout the series. I mean, Percy's always been my favorite, and I of course would want his POV more than others, but Riordan creates such amazing characters that it gets hard choosing a favorite. I especially love the character POV for the last novel in the series, Blood of Olympus. Since this is a review for the whole series and not just one specific book, I don't want to give too much away, but it's not that hard to figure out who the Seven are. They make an awesome team, and I have complete faith that they will fulfill the newest Great Prophecy. A team this in sync can do anything. But Gaea is eternal, and she's got an army. We're going to need everyone's power, strength, courage, and intelligence mixed together to even stand a chance of stopping the Earth Mother. No biggie. Easy peasy. Ha. But seriously, Riordan has so much character development throughout the series, and none of it feels rushed or forced at all, that it's like I'm growing right alongside these characters. Each individual character arc seems completely natural, and Riordan effortlessly weaves all seven different character-stories together to make one hell of a series. If you haven't read The Heroes of Olympus series, get on it ASAP. You're really missing out. The Plot-If you think about it, it's basically a bunch of teenagers trying to make sure that their great grandmother doesn't wake up. But I love the plot. Solo le pondré un pero, y es que, personalmente, los libros deberían haber ido dirigidos a un público más mayor, pues la mitología griega funciona mucho mejor sin restricciones en cuanto a escenas explícitas o vocabulario, aunque esto ensalza más aún su obra, ya que incluso dirigidos a un público más infantil, los libros funcionan a las mil maravillas en todos los sentidos!!! When a writer says somebody "made their way" to something, it means they don't know what they're trying to picture and are using a band-aid. Same with words like:

Percy, Jason, Annabeth, Nico, Coach Hedge, Will, Reyna, Piper, Frank, Hylla, Ella, everyone at Camp Half-blood. (Everyone except Octavian!) Annabeth and percy are rag dolls when the hero presenting BOB THE GREAT they need him or they will die in taturusAnnabeth Chase- Wise Girl. It's actually her birthday today(the day I'm reviewing this anyway-July 12.) Like with Percy, I don't feel as we got as much time with her as we did with Jason and Piper, but I also feel we got more time with her than Percy. Again that could just be me, though. Annabeth is probably my favorite character ever, because I mean she is awesome.

Broad terms rely on the readers imagination to do all the work. Don't say, "a gaggle of girls walked by." Describe one or two characters instead. Piper McLean- Piper is pretty cool. I like her more than Jason, but she also sometimes gets on my nerves. She deserves appreciation for everything that she's done because she's done plenty of great things. I'm just not her biggest fan. No need to go full last season of Phineas and Ferb about anything. The ideas weren't that great unless we remember them ourselves. I love when authors do that! they show us all the aspects of the world. here, the retelling of the myths & travel to the ancient lands. THERE WILL BE SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW. DO NOT READ BEYOND THIS POINT IF YOU ARE GONNA WHINE ABOUT SPOILERS!!****

You always have to rewrite endings of YA books, because they don't actually have conclusions, only sequels. Never use the cliches, "his blood turned to liquid fire." Or "The blood in his veins turned to ice." If it's about blood or veins and temperature, it's a cliche.

Titles in the Set; The Lost Hero, The Son of Neptune, The Mark of Athena, The House of Hades, The Blood of Olympus. anyway lets start with the first book the lost hero I loved it because of leo he was so funny and I liked festus I was worryied that zeus would strike festus the dragon down because you know zeus isnt verry nice. oops dont tell him I said that BUT READ HEROES OF OLYMPUS ITS GREAT. So for the last series, we got to deal with the second Titan war, and the evil Titan Kronos. Well, we've upgraded now. Time to deal with giants (even worse than Titans) and the Earth Mother herself, Gaea. Fun times right? How about not. The Prophecy of Seven, spoken by our new Orcale of Delphi, Rachel Elizabeth Dare, is basically about the end of the world. If Gaea rises, that's it, apocalypse and death and destruction ensured. The Seven demigods are going to need all their strength to band together and save the world. There's just one pesky problem: we're not dealing with only Greek demigods. We've also got Roman demigods, too, and the two groups don't really get along. Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter don't even know about each other, and for good reason. Anytime the two interact, wars are started. Not to mention that the gods are getting a bit schizophrenic having to deal with split personalities of both their Roman and Greek sides. Not only do our heroes of Olympus need to find each other, but they have to fight against everything trying to keep them from succeeding in their quest (ehem Gaea cough cough), facing dangers worse than they've ever imagined. Smell is a sensory detail, so I get what they think they're doing. But when everything smells like cabbage, onions or dead fish, you're not embellishing reality at that point. And why is it always cabbage? But they're the least of his problems. Because Percy finds himself at a camp for half-bloods, which doesn't ring any bells for him. There's just one name he remembers from his past. Annabeth.There were a lot of couples involved in this series, and I don't want to say too much about them in particular, but some couples showed more growth than others. Percy and Annabeth have always been a great couple, but they put the rest to shame in this series lol. I loved the way they were together, both as a couple and as teammates/leaders/warriors/anything really. There was not enough Percy in the series though; you don't get his POV as much as I would have liked. wow athena is angry chillax you dont have to kill Percy and all of rome I thought you were the god of wisdom AKA having a brain but here we GO dan a (dramatic music) the mother of the spiders arachne VS Annabeth can wisdom beat strength I duno Dialogue tags are almost never necessary, let alone adjectives to describe how somebody said or did something.
