House of Hades

The latest book of the Heroes of Olympus Series by Rick Riordan is out! Rejoice!!! Woohoo!!!

Unlike the first three books, House of Hades feautures the narration of all the seven demigods: Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Frank, Hazel and Leo. And (for me) it doesn't end in a cliffhanger, although I would like to read more.

The characters are as witty, funny and clever as ever. You'll be amazed (again) by Annabeth's strategic thinking, enjoy (again) by Leo's jokes and be at awe (again) with Percy's power.

HERE ARE SOME MAJOR SPOILERS:
1) Nico is gay.

I know, it's a lot to take in. Our favorite son of Hades is GAY!!!! No!!! It can't be! But yes, he is. He admitted this to Cupid, the god of love. He said that he had a crush on Percy Jackson. Awww, your handsomeness is wasted, Nico!!

2) Leo fell in love.

Another fact that's hard to take in. Leo fell in love, and this time, the girl fell in love with him too! Leo was stranded on Oygyia, the island of Calypso. At first, he and Calypso didn't get along, but as time passed by, they learned to love each other. Cheesy, right? When it's time for Leo to leave, he made a romantic promise to return for Calypso. And I think she really meant it.

3) Frank became praetor.

Frank was given by Jason the emergency praetor position towards the end of the book. Jason had to do this because Frank needed the authority to command a legion of dead Roman soldiers in order to kill the monsters in House of Hades

4) Percy and Annabeth survived Tartarus 

Yehey! We can all relax with relief now. Percy and Annabeth survived the impossible, of course with a little help from the good titan, Bob (Iapetus). They even survived the encounter with Nyx, goddess of darkness, and the god of the pit, Tartarus.
