The Blood Of Olympus Review - By Rick Riordan

My Rating;

I want to start off by saying that although i enjoyed this book, i had many problems !

I felt like it was a book to redeem Jason, Nico, and Piper to those who thought she was weak (not me) and although i love these characters way more than i ever did before. i feel like Riordan completely forgot about the others. Percy looked weak not being able to defend himself , Annabeth didn't do anything, Frank i mean was frank even mentioned? hazel did the walls but still if he could do a 7 person perspective book he could of done 9 or 7 again like c'mon.

I went into this book expecting to he dissapointed because to think that the last percy Jackson book ever will not have a Percy pov even one is just sad.

It was so silly that the gods just show up and beat the giants out of nowhere then say they cant help, are you for real? it was great to see them fighting alongside their children but its just illogical and Leo oh my god! i lost so much love and respect for him, calypso was his priority the whole book and we got like what 2,3 pages of that? his plan was stupid I feel like Riordan could of done way better!

Nico & Reyna were a great addition they are amazing! i loved them here but not at the price of percabeth.

Piper was awesome i absolutely loved her in this book but i am dissapointed.
i enjoyed the book, just reading a Rick Riordan book is awesome i loved the series so much, but to end it like this for me i wont even remember the ending tbh. Don't go around saying at least 2 demigods will die and then no one does. i wanted to cry, to feel something but nah.

Mark Of Athena, House of Hades, The lost Hero they were way better than this, when i reread this series i'm not going to reread this book. It was a great book but for me not a great ending to the series.
Still really excited for Magnus Chase!
