Diego’s Book Review 3

The House Of Hades is a deadly place where everything tries to kill you. The book I am reading is The House Of Hades, by  Rick Riordan it is  the fourth book in the Hero’s Of Olympus series by Rick Riordan. There are seven main characters in this book; their names are Percy, Annabeth, Nico, Hazel, Jason, Leo, Frank, and Bob the titan. The main idea of this book is Annabeth and Percy have fallen into Tartarus (the Greek hell and a giant god), and the other characters try to rescue them by meeting them at the doors of death (the only way to get out of Tartarus) Tartarus is full of monsters and hostile things so they have to get out as fast as they can. There a lot of settings in this book, but the most important one is Tartarus. In Tartarus everything can kill you; the air is acid, the ground is made out of broken glass, the water is deadly, and monsters are everywhere.

Three adjectives to describe my favorite main character, Leo, would be annoying, funny, and smart. First, he is annoying because he is always trying to make jokes even at the worst times. Next, he is funny because he is always trying to make a joke out of everything. Last, he is smart because he can fix and build anything that is mechanical. Something I found interesting in this book was how Tartarus is both a god and the entire place of Tartarus, too, just as the god Gaia is the whole earth. Another thing I found interesting is that Cupid is so violent he almost seems evil. Another interesting thing about this book is the mist. The mist can make things that aren’t happening appear to be happening or make something look like something it’s not. It was also surprising that there is a good giant even though all the other giants are evil.

I like this book a lot. It was super funny and the way the author wrote this book made me feel like I was there watching everything happen as I read it. I would recommend this book and the rest of the series to someone that likes Greek mythology and knows quite a bit about it. One would also like the series if he or she likes the Percy Jackson series. It is very similar to the Percy Jackson series because it was meant to be like a sequel to that series. I give this book FIVE STARS!!!!!!!!!!!
