9/10. I love this book, especially the insights into Nico and Reyna. As with the rest of the books in this series, I love the alternating POVs of the characters. I love seeing the seven of the prophecy get even closer together (people say they have coworker vibes but I feel close friends or even family vibes from them.) I also adore that we finally get to see Nico becoming friends with Will Solace! The only slightly negative thing I would say is that I didn't love that the final battles between gods + demigods and giants and the one between Gaea and the demigods were pretty short. I also wish that the final battles were in someone else's POV instead of Jason. Overall, good ending to the series but not great ending with the openness of what happened with Leo and Calypso. I wish we had gotten some more confirmation as to what  really happened with them after they left Ogygia.

I loved seeing Nico's POV and how he's slowly learning to accept love and friendship. I think his (and Leo's) POV were the best in the book. I loved the story, but there were too many questions left unanswered for it to be the "end" of the series. I know the characters appear in later books, but I wish the story was more concluded for the last book in a series. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the series and book, but I am deducting half a star for the unanswered questions I have. I feel like they were unanswered to make the reader continue reading the author's other series (unlike the PJ series which concluded nicely, but still left room for Percy's later adventures - i.e. you could stop there and feel like you're not missing anything which can't be said about the HOO series)

This book would have been better with a percabeth narration smh. This ending just felt... slightly... underwhelming to me. It was like all of this buildup and the payoff was... not great. Still a great series overall tho

in my opinion, the battle with Gaia wasn't long enough, it wasn't really a battle, it just didn't feel like a big finale that it should've been. I enjoyed little things in it, like references to other existing books and/or films from Leo, it just was really idk, wasn't how i expected the big fight should've been.

A great book to end a great series. I loved every single book in Heroes of Olympus, and this one is no exception. While House of Hades was really quite sad and emotionally traumatising, it was still so so so good. The Blood of Olympus was amazing, and I loved how they even included a different ending that was written by a fan of the series. I know some people don't like Caleo, but I personally think that they're really cute, so the ending was quite satisfactory and SO CUTE! Anyway, that's my opinion on this. So . . . bye! Lol

I was really worried when

it made it seem like Leo died

at the end, but, obviously that wasn't the case. And I'm pretty sure I did a little happy dance when

the gods ended up coming and helping the Seven fight with the monsters and close the Doors of Death

but I can't really remember because, like I said in my reviews of the other books, I've been in a reading slump for forever so it took me, like, a month to read every book after SoN. But, anyway, it was really good lol.

This was a really great conclusion to the series. 

But I wanted more at the end after Leo picked up Calypso!!!!
