The House of Hades by Rick Riordan
4.0
wow.
I’ve been on edge ever since Percy and Annabeth fell into Tartarus, and now that they’re safe (or mostly safe), I’m not really interested in reading the next book. oh well. i will anyway.
first, the reason this book only has 4 stars from me, not 5. when i got about 3/4 of the way in, i stopped caring. It was just too long.
next, characters. my opinion has not changed, I love them all (except maybe Jason, even though he was better in this book) but Hazel is my new favorite. I also know a lot of people dislike Piper, and I can see why, but I appreciate that she’s terrible at sword-fighting, slower than her other friends to concoct a plan, and a little impulsive, because that’s probably the kind of demigod I would be, and it’s nice to have someone really relatable.
also, I didn’t realize until this book and the last part of book 3 how strong Percy and Annabeth’s relationship is. sure, they were sweet together and seemed to love each other in a general way, but personally, I’d always liked Percy and Rachel together (yeah ik that’s unpopular). but Percy and Annabeth were tested so much together through this book, that I think they really are made for each other.
“Bob says hello”
