Loved this book! How can I not when most of my favorite characters are in it? Even Grover got a guest appearance with Rachael. This book was much darker though than any of the rest of the series. The tone more serious and grown up. The transaction was effortless building up from the last book. There are seven characters in the book with everyone having at least one POV chapter. The characters have also grown up with the series and evolved. Especially noticeable for me was Frank. When he was first introduced he underestimated and doubted himself, but he has grown into himself in the series into a true leader. Tartarus was very very scary and there were times I wondered if they could really make it out alive or not. Percy and Annabeth were amazing together! Percy is by far my favorite character. I was really glad that Piper and Jason didn't have a lot to say in this book. They just get on my nerves. There is one thing I would love to read and that is Nico's point of view. He is fascinating! I hope he finds happiness and love in his life. After Percy I like him best. I would love a spin off series just about Nico! :) Even though there are seven points of views in this book, and even though it seemed longer than the last books, because of the split of story in Tartarus and above, it never overlapped or seemed confusing or overwhelming. It was laid out perfectly with each challenge being solved by someone particular. Bob was amazing! made me little sad that Tyson wasn't in the book. Loved the book! and am very glad it ended on a happy note unlike the dreadful cliffhanger of the last one. Can't wait to read the end one. One year is a very long time to wait. A little sad too that only one book is left in this series but I know the last one will be just as good. :)

This is by far my favorite riordan book of all series. About quality of book, bought the hardcover. Found its cheaper nd much better than paperback. Now, If you are new to PJO and never read Heroes Of Olympus.. 😑 go read them !!! Being the 4th book which set the stage for war with Gaea, it doesn't disappoint. Not even a bit. So many places I had to stop myself from going over loop.. I re-read some occassions (SPOILER ALERT!!) like Percy killing the arachne and trying to poison akhyls. All through PJ series we saw percy from his own narration (we got glimpses of his brilliance, like the battle in the bridge) but having annabeth talk about how terrifying he can get whenever she is in danger..is ❤️.. Mostly percy being scary s my fav part.. Moving on, the whole tartarus journey narration.. 10/10 !!! Also this book brings out more of hazel, with the mist magic. We'll see what frank can do against a herd of poison eating cows (what was their name again? Keto..) Jason being the obvious leader he is, in Annabeth's absence. Nico leading argo II to keep his word and obviously his big confession which made even the strongest percabeth shippers to second guess their choices. About leo, I'm not much of a leo-calypso fan. Leo never needed a girl in his life. He could have found happiness being single. Without him Argo II's crew is dull. Out of color. I loved it when, Jason points this out. Overall, a typical riordan book with all the sarcasm n humour you'll ever need..

House of Hades is so far the most awesome book in the series! Rick Riordan's books are always better than the last one he wrote and that is a good thing, considering that the graph should always go up! I bought it on my kindle and also a paperback(which I gifted to my friend)! I had been waiting for a year since Mark of Athena, and guess what, the wait was def. worth it! The humor is amazing, I honestly rofl'd a couple of times! There is also that seriousness and maturity to the book as compared to the others. There are a lot of things that clear up in this book and give us the right idea about things. A lot happens, you have got to get it and read it overnight! The best couple hours of your life(maybe not, :P ) Can't wait for the Blood of Olympus, comes out next fall. Spoiler Alert: (Come on, don't make that face, if you don't want to read below, just turn your face away!) * Leo gets a girlfriend (sorta). * Hazel is an amazing sorceress. * Nico has a crush on Percy. (I almost could not believe this one, but it's true.) * Foes bear arms to the doors of death( They reveal the meaning behind that, thanks to Annabeth, daughter of Athena) * Tartarus rises. * Percy meets Bob/ Ipaetus. * Annabeth breaks up with Percy(the look on your face, i am just kidding, relax!) That's it for now. Read and find out the rest for yourself!

This one clearly IS a masterpiece. After The Mark Of Athena, it was for than crucial to know what happened to our favorite characters into Tartarus. Rick Riordan uses his wonderful imagination to bring us into it with so many good tricks, great events and such a good use of ancient Greek myths you have to admit he's a genius. And that's only talking about the part in Tartarus, but of course the rest of it is a masterpiece too.

Essendo il quarto libro della saga non si poteva chiedere meno azione e meno colpi di scena! Un libro che pagina dopo pagina fa crescere la curiosità sul come si risolverà la situazione! un libro degno della saga e avvincente! per quanto riguarda la spedizione è stata impeccabile: arrivato il giorno stabilito, con un imballaggio adeguato e il libro era in ottime condizioni!

„Percy Jackson- The House of Hades“ von Rick Riordan ist nun schon der 4. Band der Folgeserie “The Heroes of Olympus” und somit der voraussichtlich vorletzte Band der Reihe (was ich nicht hoffe!). Schon die erste Serie der Percy Jackson Bücher war ein super Zusammenspiel aus spannenden griechischen Sagengeschichten hineingezaubert in unsere langweilige moderne Welt. Die neue Serie kann aber durchaus noch einen drauf legen mit einem neuen und interessanten Erzählstil, vielen weiteren und unterschiedlicheren Charakteren und tollen Handlungssträngen und bisher wenig erwähnten Sagengestalten. Doch der Reihe nach, fangen wir mit dem Erzählstil an. Im Gegensatz zu den meisten Romanen und auch in der vorherigen Serie von Rick Riordan wird die Geschichte meist aus der Sicht eines Charakters (meist der Hauptcharakter) berichtet. Zu langweilig und zu eingeschränkt fand vielleicht der Autor und überraschte seine Leser in der Reihe „Heroes of Olympus“ mit Abwechselnden Sichtweisen, indem über ein oder mehrere Kapitel immer die Gedanken und Geschehnisse aus der Sicht eines Halbgottes geschildert werden. Könnte konfus machen, gibt der ganzen Geschichte aber eine unglaubliche Spannung, da bei einem Wechsel der Charaktere auch teilweise andere Handlungsstränge weitergeführt werden. Übersichtlich wird bei den Kapitelanfängen mit den entsprechenden Namen gut ausgezeichnet, wer der betreffende Charakter gerade ist. So können diejenigen, die ihrem Lieblingscharakter in einem Zug folgen wollen einfach das Buch durchblättern, bis er wieder zu Kapiteln mit dem Namen des Charakters kommt. Super Sache! Die Story führt nahtlos in der Gesamtstory weiter. Deswegen wäre es Interessierten und Neu- Percy Jackson- Lesern zu raten wenigstens die ersten drei Bücher der neuen Serie zu lesen. Diesmal befinden sich dich 2 Haupthandlungsstränge zum einen mit Percy und seiner Freundin Annabeth in Tartarus (der Unterwelt) und müssen sich zu den Toren der Unterwelt kämpfen ohne dabei drauf zugehen. Der andere Handlungsstrang führt mit ihren Freunden auf ihrem Luftschiff (der Argo II) und ihrer Fahrt zum Haus des Hades fort. Die 6 Halbgötter haben dabei nicht nur gegen Monster sondern auch mit sich selbst einige Kämpfe auszufechten. Und um allem noch ein bisschen Druck zu untersetzen müssen sie sich sehr beeilen, damit ihre beiden Camps sich nicht gegenseitig bekriegen. Keine einfache Aufgabe also. Ob sie erfolgreich sind, das müsst ihr selbst herausfinden. Ich habe mir das Taschenbuch gekauft, weil es auf Englisch so am schnellsten zu bekommen war und ich einfach nicht warten konnte. Die Bücher sind allerdings von ihrem Umfang und der Größe nicht mehr für ein Taschenbuch geeignet und sollten entweder auf ein richtiges Taschenbuchformat angepasst werden oder nur als Hardcover rausgebracht werden. Das Unformat, die Größe und die Dicke machen das Taschenbuch zum nebenbei oder to go- lesen unmöglich und gestalten das Lesen auch so eher Fazit: Für Percy Jackson- Fans ein MUSS und auch wirklich lesenswert ohne auch nur eine Seite, einen Satz, ein Wort zu bereuen. Mein Tipp: Wartet wenn möglich auf das Hardcover oder holt es euch als E-Books wenn ihr nicht warten könnt. Für Nicht- Fans: Fangt mit der Reihe von vorne an. Ihr werdet es nicht bereuen, wenn ihr euch auch nur ein bisschen für griechisch- römische Mythologie interessiert.

As the Darkest hour approach, your heroes will face the enemies in this world and in the Other. Amazing writing, compelling new and old characters, amazing story. Riordan really manages to get you into the skin of your new favourite characters. This new adventure will go beyond your expectations. You will forgive the 3rd book cliffhanger. Mostly.
