Great book, although I felt it was a bit rushed. Also, I would have enjoyed an epilogue to help tie things up more. ( )

This is the final adventure for the Seven. It is their final chance to defeat Gaea. Their friends are simultaneously trying to bring the Athena Parthenos to Camp Half-Blood. This is to stop the war between Roman and Greek camps. The final battle is spectacular. This book is the culmination of the Seven and their goals to work together to save the world. It shows the struggles of the characters and their successes and failures. It humanizes demigods who might seem to some as unbeatable. That isn't always the case. Even demigods have problems. Kids would be better off knowing that even the greats have their downfalls. We are all human with our own peaks and valleys in life. Fantasy and Greek Mythology. ( )

on one hand, I'm ENRAGED that so little was done wrt Nico and the HUGE ASS character revelation we (and Jason Grace) received in The House of Hades; on the other hand, THANK GOD WE DID NOT GET RICK RIORDAN'S TAKE ON YET ANOTHER ASPECT OF TEEN SEXUALITY, this book was awkward and dumb ENOUGH. could Will Solace be any more of a mashup of Percy and Jason?? no, he could not be, good lord save us ANYWAY WHO CARES, LEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ( )

Bittersweet read. I can't believe that was the last book in the series!!! ( )
