The critical part of my brain was spitting fire at the Blood of Olympus's weaker points, but my nostalgic side, the one who has been infatuated with Percy ever since she discovered The Lightning Thief at a book fair, rebutted, "Who gives a fuck? Is the climax rather rushed? Is Riordan a sickeningly safe author? Who gives a flying fuck about Piper transforming into Celine Dion all of a sudden to soothe angry spirits, and four books' worth of build-up for Gaea's return was over in about two chapters when this book showed me such a fucking good time? I was sipping rainbows and riding on unicorns while reading.

Did anyone seriously think Riordan would view spoiler [kill off one of the seven? He's a safe author for one, and this is middle-grade we're talking about. Harry Potter stopped being middle-grade four books ago, so don't you go shoving The Battle of Hogwarts in my face. Let's not focus on the bad. Let's focus on the good. More specially, female friendships. It's easy to create an Action Girl caricature like Katsa from Graceling, but a hell lot harder to create numerous female characters that are truly friends, not props like in most Paranormal Romances.

It's such a huge part of feminist fiction, and The Heroes of Olympus series has that in spades. We could've had the catty, body-shaming love triangles between Reyna, Jason, and Piper; and Reyna, Percy, and Annabeth, and for a while, it looked like it was heading down that road.

But the girls got over it. They grew to respect each other's strength and help one another. Piper even soothed Reyna's worries on romance. Reyna is the shit. Yeah, that doesn't happen here. Reyna had a crush on Jason, then Percy, then She doesn't get paired off. She gets through heartbreak via time, space, and acceptance instead of replacing him with another guy. She did all this while lugging a giant, murderous magic statue across states and being pursued by enemies. Can I get a hand for my girl?

Harry Potter gifs everywhere! Nico's ending was lovely. I just want Nico to be happy and walk in the sun with Will. His getting over Percy wasn't too unexpected. Percy was one to introduce Nico to Camp Half-Blood in the first place, so he became an anchor for Nico. When Nico discovered he belonged in the end, he could finally let Percy go. That would've been sick. Jeez, I love Percy just as much as the next fan, but enough! Let the other demigods have a chance to shine. With that being said, no more sequels, Riordan. You got your companion pieces, short story collections, graphic novels Anymore and you might turn into Cassie Clare.

Holy crap, look at that cover. Please let that magnificent specimen holding the lighting sword be Percy Jackson. All grown up and of legal—ahem, let's not go into details. Seven more months, my darlings. The characters are strong, smart, diverse in so many ways and true to themselves.

Riordan has so much influence as an author, especially on younger readers, and it is amazing that he uses his voice to promote bravery, kindness and friendship. That alone deserves 5 out of 5 stars. Plotwise, he again managed a worthy and satisfactory finale to a 5 part series. I have to admit that I often get tired of the way certain events happen: This happens so often throughout this and every single book I've read by this author, I just wish Riordan would figure out a new concept at some point.

I have another confession to make. I really don't like Leo. I just can't connect with him, and he easily annoys me. It took me years to finish this series, but I'm happy I finally did it. That's not creepy right? My predictions these are just random predictions 1. Frank is going to die. Not to mention the whole "To storm or fire thing" His sense of duty is so much stronger than Percy, who's fatal flaw is loyalty. My guess is that someone is going to jeopardize some plan which is going to make Annabeth get into mortal danger.

I wouldn't be surprised if Percy is vital to defeating the giants, but because Annabeth is in danger, he tries to go off and save her. Because Frank has his sense of duty, he'll sacrifice himself to the greater good. Again, these are all random speculations2. This relates to the prophesy above. If Frank dies, then my guess is that Hazel will die again and then they'll be together.

Technically, Nico broke the rules by bringing her back to life, but Gaea also broke that rule by opening the Doors of Death. I'm guessing that to make things completely right, Hazel has to return to the Underworld. And if Frank dies, then they'll both be happy. More to come, I'll edit later. Leo makes some deal with Gaia that sacrifices himself and saves the the others. I don't think Riordan is quite that mean to finally give Leo a love interest but doesn't let Leo ever see her again.

Percy ends up with Annabeth living in the Roman camp. This is one of those speculation ones that could end up either way. I feel like Riordan is setting it up for Percy to be the leader of both camps. Also, you can tell that Annabeth really wants to live in the Roman Camp5. These kinds of books always have one character already labelled for death and I'm sad to say that Riordan is given Reyna that label. I feel like killing Reyna will solve several problems.

These kinds of books always have to have that noble sacrifice. But Reyna also has created some messy strings that Riordan's going to have to cut. Like I said, I feel like Riordan is trying to move Percy into a position where he's kind of an overseer for both camps, I'm sure he'll give Frank if he lives or Jason the job as the second Praetor.

Alrighty, that's all for now. Look out for another edit soon! Gods I'm glad I made it through! After 5 books of suspense and worry about the demigod heroes defeating Gaia, they finally meet her and she's Down on one hit. That was a disappointment. They were a breath of fresh air after a whole series of nothing but the prophecied seven.

The series has left me with less-than-lovely impressions of the seven: Someone get me a bucket. How are these two useful again? Where they even present in the last book? Marginally cute but I still think Annabeth could do better. He was funny at first but eventually turned into the Deus ex Machina mechanic, nothing more. Reyna and Nico, on the other hand, were the real heroes of the book.

Flawed in the best way. A queen and a true leader - she lends her strength to lesser peers. The end is nearAnd we're all going to die waiting for this book. Hello, I'm alive again. My friend and I were brainstorming ideas for the end of this seiries and we came up with a lot Everyone lives happily ever after except maybe Jason, but who cares. Another option is just to pair him off with Piper. Jason betrays them and Piper charmspeaks him into drowning himself, and then dramatically jumps in after him.

Leo accidently burns up Hazel and therefore The Stick and Frank , goes insane with grief and goes on a burning rampage and kills everyone else, except Percy and Annabeth. Percy extinguishes all the fire with his water, Leo comes to his senses and kills himself. Percy sacrifices himself to deafeat Gaia. After the war is won, Annabeth throws herself off a cliff. Then, somehow, Gaia comes back again and destroys all human civilization.

Wow, I'm actually kind of ashamed at how anti-Jason this review is. It's amazing how much my opinion has changed, but I'm so glad it did! You know, I really expected more from this finale.

"garbage" German translation

The Last Olympian seemed more dramatic in comparison because there was more at stake, and some actual characters died in that one. It actually had a much better cover too. As a side note, who thought the covers of the Heroes of Olympus series was a step in a more mature direction? They look like they were done in crayon. Deus ex machina, literallySo in the final battle with Gaea, the Olympians just kinda shoot out of the sky to finally help their kids.

This book really boils down to 2 characters: While he could be a great character to get children interested in engineering, I find he is mostly the comic relief geek. Leo is always left wanting for more, and so is the audience. The author wrote himself into a corner by giving Leo that belt and all those tools, but it begs the question: He loses his crush on Percy as soon as he sets his eyes on Will, and starts obsessing over redecorating the Hades cabin.

Is that really the image you want young readers to see, Riordan? That LGBT youth are either really depressed and one could infer suicidal as well, since Nico is the son of Hades… or extremely vapid? Although the author has gotten lighter with the lame dad jokes, he still manages to toss in a few cringe-worthy attempts at humor. At one point Zeus manages to reference Seinfeld: Although this book weighs in at just over pages, it's fast-paced if not confusing and breakneck at times.

It's an entertaining, though not completely satisfying conclusion to the series. You satisfied me and made me curious for the next series at the same time!! I loved how determined he was to transport the Athena's statue to Camp Half-Blood. He risked his life in the extreme danger. Reyna was also with him. I liked them together. We also got to know very much about Reyna. The quest would be quite impossible without anyone of them. I loved everyone of them.

And they really deserve it. I liked their future plans. And nothing seems to be gone wrong. At least for now. I wouldn't mind if they won't have big roles in the next series. I am happy with their end. But I would definitely love to see them as side characters. I just can't stop myself anymore. So I will read Artemis before continuing this series. This was a very hard decision for me. Even before starting Artemis, I will read a graphic book in one sitting. I really liked the book, my main problem with it is Rick's selection of POV's!!!

I think that this book needed the POV of the seven demigods, but oh well I loved Nico in this book, my baby was so awesome. I was sleep deprived Can anyone sleep right now? Am I the only one here hyperventilating? Because it's not just any book, but a Heroes of Olympus book. Pre-Reading Review You know when i first heard the name of the book, the first thing that went into my mind was 'That sounds Storm could mean either Jason or Percy or both of them combined and Fire could only mean Leo. The world as i've already thought i swear i knew this could happen before HoH could be Gaia.

But as piper is guessing, if Gaia would fall by one, then the other one would die Lets hope that does NOT happen. The 'fire' could also be somehow related to Frank's wooden-stick. Aside from that, there have been made some promises, but notoaths. About the final breath.

You know, i have this faint guess that this either means that Leomightbecome an immortal meaning his last 'mortal' breath OR Calypso becoming mortal Calypso's last 'immortal' breath. But in the House of Hades, we met a really really good Giant and Titan. And they helped closing the doors of death. So, I'm still confused over the fact that the fourth line of the prophecy has already been fulfilled.. For obvious reasons you can never ever trust prophecies especially prophecies on Rick Rioridan books: D till the story ends remember the Last Olympian?!

But anyways these are my guesses. So lets just sit here waiting for the prophecy to happen.. Just had a thought. I think When we're gonna reach the most crucial part, its gonna be really really intense. We really, really need a Happy Ending, atleast for those two! I have my fingers totally crossed for this!

Tell me honestly, do you need to be in a relationship to be happy?? Please Jason, help the kid! Here's my written guarantee here! Im SOOO excited for this. Also, to Rick- If you're somehow reading this by any luck of mine - I'll offer you burnt foods for offering, sacrifice Teddy Bears Just thinking about this reunion is seriously making me lurch and cry from inside. We really really need to see this: Epic finale needs epic Monsters who wont just gloat but fight pretty well too, like almost kill demigods to shreds!

Special Emphasis on 'Almost': Which brings me to next prediction.. But i think someone important is definitely gonna die, most likely one of the seven in the prophecy. And you know who i think is gonna die? No, not only them, All of the seven are my favorite!! And just so you know i don't know how to use all the 'gifs' reference but thanks for reading that mess: That, my friends, is how a conclusion should be done!

And also knows how to mix heartache with humour and danger with excitement and dragons with talking tables. I am in awe. And, so far, I've found this series a bit waffly and not the foodie kind and rambly, but for the finale? Everything was balanced and I found myself just gobbling up pages like a Hades on fire. And I was so so happy with how it all concluded. A bit o' tragedy, a bit o' sweetness. But just quickly, let us peer individually at our favourite fruit salads: I was a bit disappointed that he didn't have any POV chapters.

They're always my favourite. In fact, I think he took really much of a backseat in this book and that's like my only complaint. I would never say no to more of Annabeth's snark and brains. I like Jason now! He's loosened up a little and is more easy-going and I didn't even mind that the finale focused on him a lot.

She features a lot in this one too. But he did turn into a bulldog when he got frightened and that was funny. Seriously I don't even know what Hazel was doing half the time?? HE is so funny and has such terrible self-worth and his love for Calypso was endlessly cute. I just love Leo's inventions and spunkiness and the way he can't sit still.

I kind of though maaaybe? But then Rick Riordan doesn't seem like the murder-everyone's-favourites kind of guy, so I wasn't surprised that Leo reappeared to sweep Calypso off her feet. He and Leo are my favourites but, well, I love Percabeth. Omg, stop making me choose. But Nico had some serious POV time and a lot of development and it was just adorable to see him grow and get a view spoiler [crush on another camper other than Will!

I died, I tell you. I actually hit myself in the face with the book I was laughing so hard. I'm so glad it was funny too! I love Percy and Jason's "oh bro" moments. And I liked how they wrapped up loose ends and kept you guessing and dreading. Basically it was glorious and probably my favourite out of the series although Mark of Athena.

I'm kind of sad it's finished now though Tengo sentimientos encontrados con este final y con el libro en general. Last edited July 25th, Wow I've been following the Percy Jackson series for about four and a half years. In fact this series is one of the reasons I really started reading in the first place. It's a pretty long story that involves way more time than I have space to write, but the general idea is that this series means a lot to me and it has for some time.

So, reading The Blood of Olympus my standards of quality were through the roof. And though my expectations weren't crushed, they weren't met either. And since I have a lot of complaints, I'll start with the good things. The second I learned that this book was including a Nico and Reyna point of view I thought it was doomed. So I was happily surprised by how much I enjoyed their parts. Nico and Reyna formed an unlikely friendship and I found their banter really sweet and unique.

These two were able to bond in such strange ways and it was fun to see the growth of their friendship. If I was to pick a favorite of the two, it would be Reyna. As much as I liked Nico and enjoyed seeing the extent of his power, I felt that I learned far more about Reyna and how she changed as a person. One of my favorite parts of the book took place on the boat with the pegisi and Orion. Reyna's moment of selflessness was really empowering and it felt like an important moment of self discovery for her.

It was one of the few scenes that reminded me of the previous books. Piper was another great character and it makes me sad that people think she needs to prove herself when she has a thousand times over.

English-German translation for "garbage"

Her instincts and fighting skills are incredible. Piper was a key character to keeping the crew relaxed and optimistic. It bothers me that people think she isn't allowed to be kind and strong at the same time. As for the ending with Leo, I'm conflicted. I do like their romance, but it felt abrupt to me. The entire book seemed a bit week and unfinished. Overall the book was enjoyable enough, but it didn't feel like a proper conclusion.

I think Riordan could have really benefited from a longer deadline. On the negative side, I think Riordan set up more than he could handle. I know writing for seven main characters or nine including Reyna and Nico is not an easy task. Which is why in most of the books only some characters had a main focus, but that doesn't leave the reader feeling any less disconnected from the characters who aren't in the spotlight. Though I understand that it is essentially their story I don't understand the point of alienating the other characters to the extent he did.

I felt that some characters acted differently when written through another characters eyes. Certain dialogue felt more like the character narrating than the one speaking and it was frustrating. None of the characters felt as unique as they had in the past. To me a lot of their personalities seemed to blend together in this last book. Though I did like Jason in this book, it seemed as if Riordan was trying really hard to prove his worth to the audience. I don't like him as much as I like the other characters, but I do like him. However, the fact that his legacy was "him carrying on what Percy failed to finish" felt really I understand all gods should be recognized, but it felt like something all seven of them should have realized on their quest.

I just feel like Jason's journey to self confidence was really weak and lacking. Also by making the goddess of storms more powerful doesn't that put both mortals and demigods at risk of dangerous shipwrecks? I think Riordan must have abandoned some of his original plots for the series due to the lack of time. Though we do know what happens to all of the important characters, there isn't that feeling of closure.

This is something really important that original series had and this one didn't. This book was lacking the feeling of togetherness that books 1 - 3 had. The first three books were well written, well edited, and they flowed perfectly. Book five was sort of a, "Crap the series is ending and I only have a year I guess I'll just throw it together," novel.

You can tell Riordan worked really hard on this conclusion, but I don't think it was shown the came care and thought that the other books were. The build-up really led to almost nothing. Percy's fatal flaw played such a minor role, Frank's lifeline plot was abandoned almost entirely, and the way to kill Gaea was to just fly her into the sky?

It was too simple. I was also very bothered by the personalities of the gods in this book. Everyone seemed to fit their cookie cutter image more than their 3-dimensional personalities Riordan had brought me to appreciate and love. Back to the point of there being nine demigods rather than seven: I can't help but feel this wasn't how Riordan originally planned the story. It's a five book series, of course his ideas were going to change over time, but the prophecy was barely even a guideline by the end, and I have to say that really does bother me.

In my opinion the real turning point for the series was the fall into Tartarus. The way book 3 ended was spectacular and I absolutely loved it. The Mark of Athena is probably the best book in the series, if not one of the best books he has ever written. But a lot of times when an author creates such an emotional and shocking ending, they trap themselves in a corner. I've encountered this multiple times in my reading travels and almost every time the author has dug a hole they can't get themselves out of.

Some examples of these types of endings, in my opinion, would be books like Delirium and Insurgent. On their own they're incredible, but they make it really difficult to continue with the series. Overall The Blood of Olympus was a real let down for me and the more I'm away from it the more I'm disappointed. I can't say that I'm shocked since I was already seeing a change in his writing in The House of Hades, but it makes me sad that such an amazing series had such an unsatisfactory ending. It was generally boring and felt pointless at times.

It lacked the creativity that I've always loved about his writing and I find the quality of the book to be really inexcusable, especially as a conclusion. Also note that even though this review is mostly negative, I mean no disrespect to the author or to any readers who enjoyed it! I was just personally very disappointed and thought I would share my thoughts.

I originally wrote this review when I completed the book after it's release, but have since edited it as my thoughts changed. I just finished The Blood of Olympus. Words cannot describe the emotions I went through. I cried because I was happy. I cried because I was sad. Gods, I'm so sad. I feel like everything worked out the way it was supposed to, even though I wish But I won't post any spoilers here.

I have to save those for my full review. But that was an intense adventure. I suppose now it's time to bid Percy Jackson and his friends farewell.

die mitte der welt jubilumsausgabe carlsentaschenbcher german edition

I've been on this adventure since I was ten, back when my friends convinced me to start the series. Gods, I started this series before I even started Harry Potter! It's kind of hard to let go of Percy Jackson, though, you know? I've grown to love the characters so much, even the ones I wasn't so fond of in the beginning. The character development was phenomenal. Our beloved characters never failed with their wit and humor. We can always relive these adventures, but it still feels like we're saying goodbye. But we can always count on Rick Riordan, an amazing author, to bring us more adventures.

We still have books to look forward to, guys. And now I'm going to go cry myself to sleep. And after reading multiple of comments that I've received on my blog, I think I feel like I have a little more to say along with this review which is wayyyyy below. Please note these are just my thoughts. Firstly, I get that everyone found the ending too open-ended.

But, I don't really see it in a way that it annoys me. I liked how it was open ended because he gave us the opportunity to use our imagination to predict what happens next. Obviously, Leo's gonna go back to find the others. We know what Percabeth is planning to do for the next 4 years, but obviously it's not going to be peaceful--they're half-bloods. They're gonna "fight stuff" quoting what Percy said in BoO there.

Rick didn't give us an ending that closed the doors, and I appreciate that. Secondly, I've come to somewhat agree on how the ending was rushed. There was so much build up to this war with Gaia but then they defeat her in the matter of one or two chapters. It happened wayyyyy too quickly, and I did expect something "grander" if you will.

Percy and Annabeth had an important plot line in the first 4 books. From being separated because of Hera, then finding each other, then falling into Tartarus. I mention this in my proper review below, too. There was so much development for them in HoH, and they kinda just lost that in this book.

Despite these small criticisms, I'm not lowering my rating, because I'm a mood reader and this book made me feel so ineffably happy and sad and everything. It's a book that made me feel like 5 stars, and so that's what it's gonna get. For people who have not read The House of Hades, please only read the first and last paragraphs. I had ran from school straight to the closest bookstore and snagged the book. I live for these books: Ask my mum, it was probably her happiest day yesterday as well, because I finally stopped with the fangirling and was hidden away in my room all evening devouring this monster.

Honestly, can't blame her. Well, for now at least. It totally saddens me, because I've been infatuated with this demigod world for so long and well Alas, that can't happen. The bright side is that fandoms exist so everyone can sob together and we can all go visit Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter in our dreams. This being said, I think the series ended on a very satisfactory note, the doors aren't closed tight shut.

Rick Riordan leaves a satisfying ending but also one that gives us readers plenty of room for imagination. I'd say it's an open ending in the sense that it still ties up all the loose ends, if that makes any sense. And, the must all do this before the Feast of Spes, which is on August 1st, just twelve days away.

Here, we also get to see what's going on from Nico and Reyna's point of view, which was just so exciting. Leo is certainly a highlight, his humour is brilliant, and the scenes where he is with Percy? I need to have more of these two dudes, they had me snorting and chocking on air because they're just that damn funny.

I wanted more from Frank and Hazel, because they didn't seem to have as much of an importance in here. Well, let's just say I like them a more than I did in the previous instalments. Okay, next bit is about Nico, which I've hidden under spoiler tags. So happy that Nico found Will. They're so beautiful already and I cried when he was told Percy that he had a crush on him once. So bloody proud of Nico and so freaking happy that he found someone, finally.

www.newyorkethnicfood.com dictionary :: junk :: English-German translation

Even though it's not with me. But like, the poor dude needs someone. And Will is possibly the best choice ever. You can never possibly be bored in a Rick Riordan book. Are we even living on the same universe? It's impossible, between the humour, the action, the plot and the fabulous characters, who can get bored?

I was sitting upright in my bed pretty much talking to the characters on the page. You could say I was completely infatuated. We need to talk about the ending. The ending was glorious. Even though when they were talking about their future in New Rome, my fangirl heart went craaaaazy. It was beautiful, so so beautiful. It might look like a HUGE novel, but it flew by quickly. It's so worth it, and you haven't lived until you have. Then, once you start reading the series, tell me so we can be friends again.

I cried guys, happy and sad reasons and then I cried some more after I finished because it was the last book. Having a hard time to believe this. This is it, guys. The end of Percy Jackson. The end of my life. I'm not sure how I'll be able to read this without sobbing hysterically after every page. I just don't think I can do it. I'm near tears now because I'm going to miss all these characters so much. Am I being rational? But I don't care. If you don't know what that means, here's the definition, as put by John Watson: Someone's going to die. People who can die: Again, let me know if I'm forgetting any evil people.

Hit me with your best shot, Blood of Olympus. Actually please dont because I'll probably cry a lot if you do so no thanks I'm kidding. I cannot believe this is the end. This series was basically my childhood. I was super disappointed that this story would not be told by any of my favorite characters Percy or Annabeth.

I'm not sure why I didn't like this a lot. Maybe because I read this over the course of so many days? Maybe because of finals week and other distractions? I do use half stars. Not because a book might not be worthy, but because a book is never perfect. There weren't too many flaws, and I had no trouble getting through it. A 4 star rating is the highest rating I've ever given a book.

If the Greek and Roman demigods do unite, the Gods will be healed. If the Gods will be healed, the giants can be killed. If the Giants can be killed, Gaia may not rise. With a rather lofty to-do-list at hand, two sets of questing demigods head out to save the world. Yes, I am a tad miffed. And not a very happy Camp Half-Blood camper. Rick Riordan, you just denied me the mental upheavels of my four favourite and most loved characters.

In which twisted, soul-seared, brain-addled world is Annabeth helpless? Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena. Annabeth Chase who fought beside Percy Jackson to defeat the titan Kronos. Annabeth Chase who was the first ever child of Athena to survive and reclaim the Athena Parthenos from the clutches of her deadliest enemy, Arachne.

Annabeth Chase who fell into Tartarus and returned. How does gloomy, angry, pain-ridden Nico, who has allowed his unrequited love for Percy Jackson to colour his entire existence, suddenly decide to move on? I don't like him. Let's move on and find Solace elsewhere.

Not buying that even if it comes with a free gift. Nico diAngelo is the orginal goth-emo child of the Grand Poobah of goth-emo, Hades. What he felt for Percy was a blend of respect, awe, hero-worship and undeniable love. It wasn't a mere crush. It wasn't a fly by night emotion gaa It was a love that could have made or destroyed the world. It was an epic twist and one of the main reasons why I couldn't wait to lay my hands on the last instalment.

We all knew there would be heartbreak involved. The scene between Jason and Nico when they encounter Cupid back in The House of Hades captured so much of Nico's angst and helplessness. It laid the groundwork for Nico's struggle. Sadly, in this instalment, it fizzled out like a damp squib. You don't just emo and then not emo. You don't do that to a son of Ares. AND Gaia never thought of exploiting Zhang's one fatal weakness? I love Hazel Levesque. I have burst with motherly pride whenever Hazel Levesque has blanketed her aches and pains and moved like a fiery heroine.

I have rooted for Levesque through thick and thin, between Frank and Leo, atop Arion and off it. How could you not give me more Hazel time? And I will cuss louder than Arion, I tell you. He saved the world didn't he? But I don't know why Leo Valdez hid a world of insecurity behind his quick quips and mechanical genius. His jokes were silly but he always made me smile. Even Leo's epic moment wasn't a big surprise. I feel short changed. Don't ask me why. I wanted to read more about them. But I got nothing. Yeah, this is an accurate representation.

You don't sidetrack the most powerful demigod in recent times. I understand the concept of seven half-bloods fighting unitedly to battle Gaia. I understand the aspect of not letting their individual egos and past victories get in the way of presenting a united front. But this is ol'Seaweed Brain that we are talking about.
