I don’t know why exactly he decided to do that, but I believe it
is because these stories are an entirely new adventure with a very different,
larger, and more important purpose in mind.
Anyways, I love the way that Rick
Riordan has each chapter in a different character’s perspective. It lets the
reader understand how every single main character feels about certain situations.
It definitely makes the book much more interesting and it makes the reader want
to continue reading because they want to learn in the next chapter how a
certain character reacts to a certain situation compared to other characters. (Sorry
about that confusing comment, but that was the only way that I could word my
thoughts) (I hope it wasn’t too confusing and you still understand what I was
trying to say in that sentence) Well, at least that’s always been the case for
me when I am reading this series. In fact, I get so absorbed into the book that
I end up forgetting that I have homework to do and I still need to eat my
dinner. It drives my parents crazy!!! I feel a little bit bad for them. Most
parents would encourage their children to read more, but I read too much, and
my parents hate it soooo much because when I am sitting/laying on my bed with a
good book, I tend to ignore people and everything else, which makes me act
rude. Another reason I really like the whole character alternating idea is because
when I read other books, I’m always wondering how the other characters feel
about what is happening in the story, and my mind feels like there is something
missing in the story. However, I don’t feel this way when I read The Heroes
of Olympus series. So, that’s a large plus to this series and Riordan’s
writing method.
Although this has nothing to do with the
stories and the way Rick Riordan wrote this series, I just wanted to mention
that I absolutely love the covers of each book in The Heroes of Olympus
series.
Warning for all of you readers out there who haven’t read this series
yet: be prepared for a very annoying cliffhanger at the end of The Mark of
Athena. When I read The Mark of Athena for the first time, The
House of Hades hadn’t come out yet, so I was very impatient to know what happens next. Also be prepared for a lot of
surprising reveals in The Mark of Athena and The House of Hades. I
won’t mention any of these reveals because I don’t want to spoil anything for
anybody who hasn’t read this series yet.
I am super super, super, super,
duper excited for when The Blood of Olympus comes out. It comes out on
October 7, 2014. I’m too impatient to wait for it to come out. IT MUST COME OUT
RIGHT NOW!!! IT MUST!!! I have heard that The Blood of Olympus is
going to be the last book in The Heroes of Olympus series. This makes me
both happy and sad because I want to know how everything ends, but then again,
this means that there won’t be anything else to wait for. There will be no more
suspense and no more books. J L J L
I also think that In The Blood
of Olympus , Leo will relocate the island of Ogygia and Calypso using the
astrolabe from Odysseus and the crystal from Ogygia. I don’t know why, but this
is what I am looking most forward to in the last book. In fact, I’m looking
more forward to this than seeing whether or not Gaea is defeated and how. Maybe
this is because I adore LOVE stories. But anyways, I’m really excited.
Anyways, as mentioned in my title,
Rick Riordan does it again. He has managed to take the characters from his
first children’s series and create an entirely new series of adventures with
the most powerful demigods of all time. He has also managed to come up with
even more adventure-packed stories for this series.
In my opinion this series is even better than the Percy Jackson
and the Olympians series. It contains more action and suspense, with tinges of
love (both issues and happy-moments).
The Lost Hero : 10
The Son of Neptune : 10
The Mark of Athena : 10
The House of Hades : 10
As a closing up remark, I would like to say that if you have not
read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, then you should not read this
series, otherwise it won’t seem as complete. So read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians
series before starting this one!!!
Good Bye readers and until next time! J
