The other five demigods have to put aside their grief and follow Percy's instructions to find the mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through the Gaea's forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape? They have no choice. If the demigods don't succeed, Gaea's armies will never die. They have no time. In about a month, the Romans will march on Camp Half-Blood. The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths of Tartarus. Review: The best so far. :D - To me, the Percy Jackson series and the Hereoes of Olympus are one of those series that if you love it, you love it. It's not a YA book that we normally think of: one hero, love interest with some forbidden love triangle or something, and one evil villain. Instead, these two series revolve around several characters (and Percy) and different couples and several evil villains. Great series all around. And I happen to be one of the people on the world that love this series. This book.........Holy freaking crap. I loved it. Absolutely loved it. One thing I love to point out is that unlike most YA novels, this series has several authors. I don't really like third person POV, but Rick Riordan does a great job using it. I love getting each character's perspective on the story/plot, even if I really wish I could know every character's thoughts on each scene (what a long book that would be). As much as I wish the story was told from only Percy's POV like in the first series, I do like all the characters narrating. In all of his books that I have read (which is just the ones with Percy in them), Rick Riordan brings his own humor to the story, which makes getting through one of his books without a laugh very hard to do. I was surprised that this book didn't have as much funny jokes and humor as his other ones. Maybe it was because this book was a bit more serious than the others; given that Percy and Annabeth are in Tartarus (which was cruel) and Frank, Leo, Jason, and Piper are trying to reach the House of Hades to close the Doors of Death, with Nico's help. As much as seriousness is good for a book with so much suspense, I did miss some of the funniness Riordan brings to his books. Characters: I have to say, this is the one book I think most of the characters really revealed their true selves. Frank, we know, has been uncomfortable with himself, not only being the son of Mars, but also in his awkward shape and the fact Leo keeps teasing him. In the HOH, he grows out of all of this and comes to accept himself even more. Leo, who left a little left out given that he is the only one of the seven without a girlfriend, expresses this and I came to the conclusion that he teased Frank and was a joker because he felt that was the only way he would be noticed for something other than his awesome mechanical skills. I was really happy that he met Calypso, but really upset that the gods hadn't let her go yet. Frank and Leo are just a few examples of revelations. The biggest one to me was Nico. This is the first time we really see him for him. He lashes out at Cupid, who provokes him into revealing his big secret. It is shocking to learn this secret. I'm not going to say what it is since it is a big spoiler, but I will say this: if you look at the whole series, you wouldn't think of it at all. Many books these days have some of this issue (think of Glee when you are wonder what it is) and oddly, I would have never thought Riordan would have put it in his series. It's not that I think he's against this issue (I'm sorry if I'm offending anyone; I can't think of any other word for it without revealing the secret or sounding really, really rude), but it was just a surprise. But then again, a chapter earlier kind of hinted to it, which I wasn't smart enough to pick up on, but still, it was a shock. But I still love Nico. By far, he is one of the strongest characters of the series; not by strength and brute force, but by character in himself. Romance: What I love best about these books is that the love dovy stuff isn't overwhelming stupid and cheesy. It is the love you would expect two teenagers to experience as their first girlfriend/boyfriend. Of course, I love Percabeth all the way, but Jasper (Jason and Piper) and Frazel (Frank and Hazel) are good too. Hopefully Riordan doesn't screw it up and forget about Calypso. I love them together. I think their couple name is Caleo. Ending: I'm happy it ending the way it did, but I'm sad that Bob died and that Octavian is a horrible ^@*$^#)@ face. He's too power hungry. I really don't like him. I kinda hope he does get shot out of a cannon by Frank and Reyna. I can't wait for the last book, The Blood of Olympus, which I hope doesn't mean a main character dies. Review: I can't get enough of this series - It’s a pretty special thing, friends, when an author manages to create a world and fill it with characters that endear themselves to you for books and books and books and their story never gets old or boring or LESS endearing. The opposite, in fact. Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson books are exactly like this. I read all five books in the original Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and instantly fell in love with the writing and the characters and the world, and now I’m in pretty deep with The Heroes of Olympus. The most recent installment in that new series, THE HOUSE OF HADES, is really proof of something that has been sneaking up on me for a while: Percy is all grown up, and I am NOT ready. But what an amazing young man he is, and what incredible young people he has around him. I don’t want to spoil things for people who haven’t read this series yet (WHAT ARE YOU DOING GO READ THESE), but I will tell you that in THE HOUSE OF HADES, Percy and Annabeth are stuck in Tartarus, where all the evil immortal things go when they are “killed” so that they can be reborn and again unleashed. Percy and Annabeth meet some familiar faces and encounter pretty nasty creatures there. Of course, they also need to make it to a certain spot in Tartarus by a certain deadline in order to prevent the annihilation of humanity, as one does. Meanwhile, the other heroes—Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Nico, and Leo—are trying to meet up with Percy and Annabeth to play their own part in the prophecy and to stop the annihilation of humanity. ALSO, they are trying to stop the Roman and Greek camps from going to war with each other. No pressure. As usual, Rick Riordan keeps things fast-paced, funny, and plenty emotional enough to tug on the ol’ heart strings. I love how Rick Riordan is able to make these books about everyone equally. In the original series, things were obviously about Percy, but The Heroes of Olympus series encompasses a group of unique, brave, smart young people who have to navigate their awkward teenage years while also trying to prevent the goddess Gaea from raising her army of monsters and giants to basically take back the earth from humans. We get just enough time spent with each of the heroes so that we know what they’re going through, what things look like where they are, and how they are dealing with being one of the prophesied 7. THE HOUSE OF HADES gives each character time to shine and show how important they all are to the story (and each other, let’s be honest). To me, though, the storylines that have stayed with me from THE HOUSE OF HADES involve Percy and Annabeth and Nico. SIGH. These kids. I’ve spent so much time with them over the years that I feel really attached to them, and I think they had some of the more emotional storylines in THE HOUSE OF HADES. Percy and Annabeth are, as they often seem to be, the heart of this series. Of both series. They are spending time together in the horrid waste that is Tartarus, running not just for their lives but also to save the lives of everyone and everything they know and love. It was lovely to see them fight for each other and worry about one another and find strength in each other. They’re growing up so fast! WAH! But it’s really impossible not to love them, separately and together. It’s been so great to see their relationship mature. And so that leads me to Nico. OMG GUYS. There are a million reasons that I want to give Nico De Angelo big squishy hugs, but his storyline in THE HOUSE OF HADES is kind of heartbreaking and very emotional and just makes me love him even more. Mostly, though, I imagine that it’s empowering for lots of readers and that’s what makes it so wonderful. Rick Riordan deals with an important issue with lots of heart and grace, and the way the other characters react to it is lovely. NICO ILYYYYYYY! Of course the drama surrounding our heroes in THE HOUSE OF HADES is, as always, full of surprises and fun and danger. Gaea is growing stronger the closer it gets to her appointed date for TOTAL EARTHLY DESTRUCTION. She’s making it almost impossible for the crew on the Argo II to make it where they need to go to help Percy and Annabeth. Plus, Hazel is coming into her magical abilities and realizes that she’ll need to play a really important role in the success or failure of their mission. The situation is growing more and more dire for our heroes. It was hard to put THE HOUSE OF HADES down because so much was going on. I honestly can’t recommend Rick Riordan’s Greek/Roman mythology books enough. Percy Jackson is an excellent hero: flawed, brave, confident. The other heroes in THE HOUSE OF HADES all have their own doubts and strengths as well, and Rick Riordan doesn’t shy away from showing us any of them. Honestly: READ THESE. You’ll be feeling like a mama bear over these kiddos in no time. THE BLOOD OF OLYMPUS, I need you and fear you all at once. ## Images ![The House of Hades: The Heroes of Olympus, Book 4 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91a22WHwe4L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best so far. :D *by T***R on April 13, 2014* To me, the Percy Jackson series and the Hereoes of Olympus are one of those series that if you love it, you love it.

This fabulous book came out way back in October, and I got it the week it released, but I’ve just gotten around to reading it. I had school books and review books and book club books to finish before starting this. A couple of times I would start a new book and completely forget I even needed to read this one! I knew once I started it, though, it would consume my entire attention until I finished, which it did. I loved Percy Jackson, and I love the Heroes of Olympus. It makes me so happy Riordan decided to do a spin-off of Percy’s series, because I love all the characters so much. It’s just like Harry Potter. I’m so connected to the characters; I feel like I know them. Both series are fantastic. Percy Jackson is obviously for middle grades. Heroes of Olympus, while longer and higher level, is still on the juvenile shelves. I love that Riordan tailored his series to grow with the readers, but I don’t think young adult is the right words to describe these books. For one, they’re kind of cheesy. Why do all the characters get to be paired up in nice little couples? Why are the one-liners more corny than realistic? These qualities prove to be for younger adolescents rather than older teens. But the thing is- I don’t care. I love the series!! I’m not growing out of it anytime soon, and I don’t think I’ll be finished with them next year either. The characters are too well-developed. I grew up with these guys! Grover and Percy and Annabeth are my best friends! I know their “voices,” I know their personalities, and I know their adventures. Riordan references to his previous books a lot, and I’ve been there with them. I can’t just abandon these guys, and I’ll be crushed when the series ends. After the Percy Jackson series, I was crushed. When I found out about this one, I practically jumped for joy. Seriously, guys, I have a huge problem. I have the biggest crush on Percy Jackson (shh… don’t tell Annabeth), and I know he’s fictional, but come on! I’ve been through so much with this kid! Riordan created a world I wish I lived in, just like the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I wish I could talk to Zeus and venture to the Underworld. He single-handedly sparked my interest in Greek (and now Roman) mythology. This author is a magnificent writer. The Heroes of Olympus series has so many different points of view, and I never get confused whose eyes I’m looking through. It all comes back to the characters; he developed them so well it’s like their real people. My heart sped up during the scenes in Tartarus with Percy and Annabeth, and I was torn when i found out Nico’s secret. While some of the dialogue is a little lame and the writing low level, the plot and the characters hold my interest just fine. More than just fine. I’m on the edge of my seat whimpering in fear and biting my nails during the fight scenes. I’ve audibly cheered at the gang’s triumphs, even though I know everything will turn out okay. This turned into a series review, but it is the 4th book in the series. I figure if you guys were going to read this book, you’ll have to start at the beginning of the series. Just know that Riordan seamlessly ties in Greek and Roman mythology into the plot and has AWESOME characters. He’s weaved a world I wish I could walk into. stealingpages.com --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/9532653-the-house-of-hades-the-heroes-of-olympus-book-4](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/9532653-the-house-of-hades-the-heroes-of-olympus-book-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
