The book I read is called The Blood of Olympus, it’s by Rick Riordan. There are 7 main characters and their names are: Percy, Frank, Jason, Leo, Annabeth, Piper, and Hazel and they are all demigods.  Piper is daughter of Aphrodite, Frank is son of Ares, Annabeth daughter of Athena, Hazel is daughter of Hades, Leo is son of Hephaestus, Percy is son of Poseidon, and Jason is son of Zeus.

A demigod is someone who has one godly parent and one mortal parent. However there is a problem, Gaea, the earth goddess is rising and she wants revenge on the gods by destroying the world! All this action happens in Athens the ancient land of Athena.

The plot of the story is the 7 demigods have to go on a quest to stop the war with Gaea. In the books before this one the demigods killed the titans. The titans are Gaea’s sons so Gaea went mad and she tried to kill everyone especially the gods. Gaea also leads all the monsters so she sends monsters to stall the demigods so she can have time to rise and awake. Once she sent a whole army of Cyclops to slow them down only for about a minute or so. The demigods received a prophecy that one demigod would die so they had to use up some of their time getting a potion so they can bring him or her back to life! I love this book so much because it’s by my favorite author Rick Riordan, also it’s about mythology and mythical stuff is really cool. Last but not least it’s a long read and it’s not a small book that you can read in like a few minutes. It feels like you accomplished something when you finish it. I recommend this book to anyone who likes books about mythology or adventure or both.

I rate this book:*****
