I hate it when a good book leaves you hanging.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved Heroes of Olympus: The Son of Neptune. I just don’t like that feeling you get when you’re so into the story and it gets cut off too soon. Worse, by the time you get to read the next book (which by the way doesn’t exist yet and remains to be written), you would have forgotten what the previous one was all about. (Note to self: Re-read Heroes of Olympus: The Lost Hero and make a review.)
A half-blood of the eldest gods,
shall reach sixteen against all odds.
And see the world in endless sleep,
The hero’s soul, cursed blade shall reap.
A single choice shall end his days,
Olympus to preserve or raze.
Unlike my previous reviews, I will be posting the prophecy of this book at the end of my review, for the reason that the book itself did not fully disclose what the Oracle said until the end.
Something is about to happen.
A trick that ends in death.
- Rachel, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Book 5: The Last Olympian -
“And it works best at night. But all shadows are part of the same substance. There is only one darkness, and creatures of the Underworld can use it as a road, or a door.”
- Nico di Angelo, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Book 5: The Last Olympian -
You don’t even know what’s happening, do you? Soon, your pretty little camp in flames, your friends made slaves to the Lord of Time, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. It would be merciful to end your life now, before you have to see that.
- Kelli, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Book 4: The Battle of the Labyrinth -
Five shall go west to the goddess in chains,
One shall be lost in the land without rain,
The bane of Olympus shows the trail,
Campers and Hunters combined prevail,
The Titan’s curse must one withstand,
And one shall perish by a parent’s hand.
