Book Review:
The House of Hades is the heart-stopping, emotional, and absolutely brilliant penultimate book in Rick Riordan's Heroes of Olympus series. The demigod crew of the Argo II stands at a crossroads. They could return home with the Athena Parthenos statue and try to stop the war between Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter. Or they could continue on their quest to find the House of Hades, open the Doors of Death, and rescue their friends Percy and Annabeth from the depths of Tartarus (if they have survived). Meanwhile, Percy and Annabeth must navigate the darkest, most terrifying place in the universe – Tartarus itself – while the rest of the crew faces impossible odds on the mortal side. This book is darker, more intense, and more emotional than any before it. The bonus content includes two exciting short stories: ''Percy Jackson and the Sword of Hades'' and ''The Crown of Ptolemy''. A must-read for all demigod fans.
