Book Review: Heroes of Olympus: The Blood of Olympus

                                                  The Blood of Olympus Review

The Blood of Olympus is the final book in the Heroes of Olympus series and in this book they are trying to prevent Gaea from rising even though at this point it seems that Gaea awakening is inevitable. On their journey they have to capture Nike the goddess of victory and find the physician's cure which can cure even death which is something they believe that they would need because one of them is prophesied to die in the final battle with Gaea. Leo believes that the one who will die should be him so he comes up with his own schemes on how the final battle should go because he doesn't want his friends to worry about him or put themselves in danger for him.

Through out the book Nico along with Reyna and Coach Hedge is using shadow travel in order to bring the Athena Parthenos  to Camp Half-blood in order to prevent a war from breaking out between the Greek and Roman half bloods. On the journey we get to learn more about both Nico and Reyna with us seeing just how far Nico pushes himself to finish his mission even at the expense of his own well being and that he believes that others don't want him around so he pushes them away. Reyna we learn that her family has a history of being warriors and being supported by Belladonna and how her and her sister ended up on their own and how they got to where they both ended up. Nico and Reyna end up developing a friendship with each other through out the book that I really ended up enjoying as well.

In other plots in this book includes Jason deciding that he will go between the two camps and build shrines to all the minor gods and goddess in hopes of preventing future wars and because he feels like his place is at both camps. Piper also learns to trust her feelings in order to use her powers better as a daughter of Aphrodite and she and Annabeth bound out on a mission together and the two of them become very close friends. Leo is also still making plans to get back to Calypso's island and take her away from there as well.

Overall I really loved this book it was mostly about finding away to stop Gaea because this is the final book of the series but it also allowed plenty of time for character growth as well which I really enjoyed. I especially enjoyed that we got chapters from Nico and Reyna's point of view and we were given more insights into their characters. Please tell me your thoughts on this book or series as a whole in the comment section below.
