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.
