Ithaca was not an ideal island vacation. As soon as the seven reunite, Reyna. Nico, and Coach Hedge take the Athena Parthenos to Camp Halfblood, their new mini quest. The seven starts on Ithaca where they landed to gather information about the enemy, Jason, Piper, and Annabeth are all disguised by the mist. On Ithaca, they meet some old friends, as well gain some new information about their treacherous journey ahead. The seven learn that to win the battle against Gaea they need to have victory on their side. Victory meaning the goddess herself, Nike. The demigods then proceed to trap Nike in the Argo II stables and continue on. Around the same time, the Athena Parthenos crew arrives in San Juan, Reyna’s hometown. There, they are very promptly ambushed by the Hunters of Artemis who take Reyna away from Coach Hedge and Nico. Reyna is then informed that she has been captured as bait for the infamous hunter Orion. Just as Orion is ambushing them, the Argo II crew is also ambushed, by a storm. Knowing that the storm was coming from below the ship, Jason and Percy very quickly plunge into the water. There, they find one of Percy’s old enemies and a battle ensues. To find out the circumstances of this battle, and the mini-quest it causes read Heroes of Olympus the Blood of Olympus.
This was a great ending to the Heroes of Olympus series. I think that the way this book was written was very good. Both the Athena Parthenos crew and the seven are on an equally important journey. Just like all the other Heroes of Olympus books this book has multiple perspectives. We also have the very first Reyna and Nico perspectives. This book went full circle and really closed off this series. It even included some references to some old characters from the Percy Jackson series. There is also some Magnus Chase and Trials of Apollo foreshadowing, see if you can find it. I think that if you have read the Percy Jackson series you can very much enjoy Heroes Of Olympus. If you haven’t read Percy Jackson yet I would recommend you read it first so you can understand Heroes Of Olympus much better. You might also want to read the first 4 Heroes of Olympus books before reading this one because it will really allow you to understand the story. If you enjoy this book consider checking out the Kane Chronicles, and Magnus Chase. You can also check out the Trials of Apollo which is the next installment in the Percy Jackson trilogy. I hope you love the Heroes of Olympus Finale. Happy Reading!
