House of Hades by Rick Riordan

House of Hades by Rick Riordan

Percy Jackson is back! After a year. 

As a fan of Percy Jackson and mythology in general,  I love the combination of humor and the accuracy of the myths and legends of Greece and Rome. 

Like most Demigod supporters, I was very angry about the cliff hanger in the Mark of Athena. Annabeth had to face the ultimate enemy of Athena, and then we were left hanging as the heroes disapeared into the abyss of the underworld. 

This book never has a dull moment. With Percy and Annabeth struggling in the underworld and facing many past enemies that were sent to Tarturus, this is an intense journey that threatens both Percy and Annabeth's belief in themselves and each other. But they aren't the only demigods with a difficult task ahead of them. Piper, Frank, Hazel, Jason, Leo and Nico must find a way to reach the gate of the underworld, and pray that Percy and Annabeth will survive the depths of Tarturus. 

With the prophecy hanging over their heads, and challenge after challenge that Gaea forces them to face, the demigods have much to accomplish in a short and limited time.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wasn't satisfied with Mark of Athena's cliffhanger. I also recommend this and the Percy Jackson series to anyone who loves adventure, myth, satire and epics!
