Hazel stands at a crossroads. She and the remaining crew of the Argo II could return home with the Athena Parthenos statue and try to stop Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter from going to war. Or they could continue their quest to find the House of Hades, where they might be able to open the Doors of Death, rescue their friends Percy and Annabeth from Tartarus, and prevent monsters from being reincarnated in the mortal world. Whichever road they decide to take, they have to hurry, because time is running out. Gaea, the bloodthirsty Earth Mother, has set the date of August 1 for her rise to power.
Annabeth and Percy are overwhelmed. How will the two of them make it through Tartarus? Starving, thirsty, and in pain, they are barely able to stumble on in the dark and poisonous landscape that holds new horrors at every turn. They have no way of locating the Doors of Death. Even if they did, a legion of Gaea's strongest monsters guards the Doors on the Tartarus side. Annabeth and Percy can't exactly launch a frontal assault.
Despite the terrible odds, Hazel, Annabeth, Percy, and the other demigods of the prophecy know that there is only one choice: to attempt the impossible. Not just for themselves, but for everyone they love. Even though love can be the riskiest choice of all.
Join the demigods as they face their biggest challenges yet in The House of Hades, the hair-raising penultimate book in the best-selling Heroes of Olympus series.

I'm so silly. An Adult woman who loves Rick Riordan's books. I can't wait until the next one.
Loved leos story line in this but the others were quite boring. Percy and Annabeths got a big repetitive but still cool
Spoilers ahead?? I think?? not sure if they count as spoilers
⚠️
No character deaths? Well no important character deaths. No one has died in this series which makes me less attached. All good series have a death that rips you apart. At this point at least 5 characters have to die in the final book to make up for everyone surviving the whole series
It's not that I didn't like it, it's that I don't care for most of the new characters. If I care about any. I was here for Percy, Annabeth and Nico so you can imagine I wasn't too interested in many of the POVs in this book.
