Heroes of Olympus: The Blood of Olympus

Not a Chapter but Please read anyway!

Hey guys!! *dodges onslaught of attacks* sorry to keep you hanging for uh a *cough* long time * cough*. Yeah I know I haven't updated in forever and I really don't have a good excuse. Sorry.

Part of it was that the real Blood of Olympus came out and I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue this or not. So if u guys could comment on what u think I should do that would be great!!

Secondly I have read the book and I really want to rant on it so here goes (for anyone who hasn't read it yet, this would be the time to stop reading. SPOILERS AHEAD!):

Okay so overall I liked the book. It was entertaining. But it was a bad last book. Now I'm not saying this to upset all those people who really liked it. That's good for you. I wish I liked it.

But I thought for all the build up that happened in the other books in the series, this book just wasn't enough to cover all the answers sufficiently. Hazels curse with the jewels? where did that go? And franks stick wasn't mentioned like at all! did it just disappear?

I did like how much action Piper and Jason got, since I think they're underestimated a lot, but whatever happened to Percy and Annabeth? They did play in some parts, but over all it was like, "oh hey Percy, didn't see you there are you still on this quest?" They didn't get a whole lot of action time.

Percy makes me the maddest over this, because almost all the times he talks, he sounds so lame! Like the time where Leo and piper and Jason go to the guy with the physicians cure and Leo mentions that Percy rushed off with a green face to go throw up! like Percy isn't that weak guys. And when he just charged into a wall of poison! He killed the giant once remember? Percy is stupid sometimes but not that stupid!! ugh. And he didn't even get a POV. He started this whole thing. Shouldn't he end it?

And the huge decision that Percy was supposed to make that he wouldn't be able to without franks help? Was that just letting piper, Jason and Leo go fight Gaea? that wasn't even a real decision!! that was like, "I don't like it that you guys are going up there alone. We should get a way for everyone to- Oop! here come monsters! never mind! Got to go!" All Frank did to help him was say," No Percy, we have to let them do this. " I was kinda hoping for a more life- changing big decision with a little more time and bigger consequences.

We did not need two POV's with the Athena statue! I love both Nico and Reyna, really i do, they're both awesome characters, but seriously? Their POV's took up half the book! Alternate between the two every other time or something!

I was expecting something bigger at the end. If all we had to do was get Gaea off the ground and incinerate her, why didn't we do that long ago? it just seems a little too easy, like when Percy had to defeat that one monster in the labyrinth. I was hoping for a more complicated and explosive ending.

But it wasn't bad. Leo died and was sacrificed, and I thought that part was good, but in the end he just left his friends hanging. You couldn't iris message them to let them know you're all right? That you're alive? but he did get calypso back so that was good.

The Falling action wasn't that great either back at camp half blood. After Leo died, its like everyone forgot about him except for piper and Jason and started making other plans.

PERCY DIDN'T GET HIS REuNiON!!!! I was really disappointed at that. I wanted to see Sally again. 😣

It was exciting though, and it did have its funny parts, like Leo and piper and his pants. 😄 I'm so sad it's over!!!!! 😣😣😣😣
