Despite their length, Riordan books are quick reads for me because of the way they are paced. I can see why kids of all kinds come into the library and say they've flown through these books because it is easy to do! Not only are all of the characters fun, but there's action and humor and it's just an all around good time, despite the impending doom.
Also, Nico! I can see why people say he's one of their favorite characters because I just want to wrap him in a big hug. I'm glad we finally get to see from his point of view. And his interaction with Percy at the end? Gold.
While this one doesn't end on a cliffhanger, you can kind of tell that Riordan is setting up for another series. It's an overall good conclusion to this story arc, but there's an opening there at the end for another series.Â

There was a lot going on in this one (maybe too much?). Having narration from Reyna/Nico/Hedge's quest, too, sometimes made it tough to remember what was what.
I liked the character development in this one a lot. It feels like Frank didn't get the same level of development that the rest of them got. Darn.
The highlights for me were Leo's development/storyline, Reyna/Nico's friendship developing, and the ending.Â
Ranking the series:
1. House of Hades
2. Son of Neptune
3. The Lost Hero
4. Blood of Olympus
5. Mark of Athena
Moderate: Death and Violence
Minor: Death of parent
