I just started reading The House of Hades about 3 days ago. I wanted to take a break from the Divergent series and go back to my former favorite series. Before I heard about the Divergent series. I read every book in the Percy Jackson series, The Heroes of Olympus, and the Kane Chronicles. All I needed to read was The Serpent's Shadow and The House of Hades. But once one of my friends Told me about the book for the summer reading project, I went on reading it and when I did, I completely forgot about the other two books that I needed to read. Once I finished Divergent and Insurgent, I felt like going back and reading The House of Hades instead of reading Allegiant because I heard that the final book of the Divergent series was disappointing to people who like the series. So, I wanted to save that surprise for later and finish my other Favorite series first so that I can get that off the hook and focus on Allegiant.

As usual, this is what is going on in this book so far. the gang of demigods are travelling to the underworld on Leo's ship, Argo II, but they need to defeat Gaea and the titan guards to enter the underworld. The beginning pretty much shows that Half Blood Hill teamed up with Camp Jupiter to take down Hades's Titans and to save the Olympians once and for all. Gaea ends up almost destroying the ship, but the demigods flee to the gate so that Gaea can't kill them. They end up finding other demon like creatures and undead warriors that surround them and try to kill them. After that, they try to get in the gate, but The ship ends up encountering severe turbulence and throws Percy, Annabeth, and Hazel Overboard, leaving Jason, Leo, and some other people on the ship.

The author, Rick Riordan, is one of the most famous authors for the Percy Jackson, The Heroes of Olympus, and the Kane Chronicles series. Currently, Riordan is the #1 New York Times Bestseller for the Percy Jackson series. Another series that topped the New York Times Bestsellers was the 39 Clues Series. He continues to expand all of his series that he made, and the fifth book for the Heroes of Olympus will be The Blood of Olympus. So, I will probably read that the moment it comes out.

The Setting is neat the Titans' home and the Gates of Death (Which is the entrance to Hades' home. A few demigods went there to defeat the Titans and save the gods once and for all. Those demigods were Percy, Annabeth, Leo, Hazel, Jason, and more. The setting is more eerie and dark, and could be compared to any setting in a horror movie because those who enter the place normally die and never return. Also, the beginning is supposed to be one of the scariest or craziest parts of that king of movie, and the beginning of this book is that the top three main characters in the book end up falling into a pit and they think that they will die and will end up putting both of the demigod camps into flames.

I finished the book Insurgent over winter break. This book probably had the most suspense compared to any book that I have ever read. Everytime, Tris and her friends do crazy things like invade the Erudite headquarters 24/7, at where they could die easily. they spy on the erudite and each time that they do that, at least one person gets captured or killed by the Erudite. one time. Also, you will never know what will happen to anyone in the next second. At one second they could get shot in the face, tied to a tree or a pole, or facing execution. the Dauntless leader's death was somewhat expecting because he as caught and he faced execution. But the Erudite leader's death came out of nowhere, it looks like Tori, one of the new Dauntless leaders, has shot Jeanine, the Erudite leader, and has taken down the Erudite faction. Also, the factionless attempting to take over the government was out of nowhere because the leader, Tobias's mom, let her son take the choice and he said to just take out the Erudite.

You might be thinking that I am going to read Allegiant next, but i want to catch up with the percy jackson series and read The House of Hades next. I really need to take a break from this series, even though it is so good. Also I keep hearing that Allegiant was a disappointing book, and is a very sad ending. I didn't listen to them because that would spoil the whole story, so I ditched the series, hoping that i will forget all about what I heard. Before I read Divergent, the Percy Jackson type books were my favorite books. I want to catch up, since I still need to read The Serpent's Shadow and The House of Hades. Once I finish these two books, I will get Back to Allegiant. Until then Here are some questions about the characters and the book as a whole.
