Review
Gr 5-8 Fans won't be disappointed as the cliff-hanger ending from the previous book, The Mark of Athena (Hyperion, 2012), leads to further exciting adventures by the intrepid demigods in this penultimate book in the "Heroes of Olympus" series. Annabeth and Percy have fallen down into Tantarus, and they must fight off the attacks from the monsters stuck there long enough to find the Doors of Death. The other five demigods must get to Eprius in Greece, find the House of Hades to open the Doors of Death on the mortal side, save Annabeth and Percy, and seal the entrance to stop Gaea's forces from escaping into the mortal world and destroying it. The Gods are incapacitated by their Greek and Roman personalities warring with one another, and the demigods from Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter are on the verge of an all-out war. As Annabeth and Percy struggle to survive Tantarus's poisonous atmosphere and creatures, the other demigods must undergo harsh trials particularly Hazel, Frank, and Leo, but they learn and grow mentally and physically from their experiences. The heroes realize that they cannot change their parentage but they can control their legacy. While more serious than the previous titles, there are lighthearted moments here, many involving a farting polecat. The horrifying monsters are nicely balanced by peace-loving Titan Bob, a skeleton calico cat called Small Bob, and gentle giant Damasen. Fans will be thrilled to know the series continues with The Blood of Olympus in 2014. Sharon Rawlins, New Jersey State Library, Trenton SLJ"
Having plunged into Tartarus at the end of the last book, The Mark of Athena (2013), Percy and Annabeth struggle toward the Doors of Death, while their friends hurry to meet them on the other side at the titular House of Hades. Riordan is most successful in his evocation of Tartarus and its hellish, monster-infested landscape. Without lightening his heroes' miseries in any way, the author provides a helper and necessary mood-lifter in the person of Iapetus/Bob, the Titan whose memory Percy had obliterated with the waters of Lethe in a previous adventure. Now Hades' janitor, Bob, along with a skeletal saber-tooth kitten he names Small Bob, joins Percy and Annabeth on their trek, causing them both to plumb unexpected moral depths. Meanwhile, on board (and off) the Argo II, Jason, Piper, Leo, Hazel and Frank similarly must come to understand themselves better in order to accomplish the tasks set before them (though not to equal extents). Though Riordan doesn't stint on action or laughs (fart jokes abound, and a tart-tongued Calypso is a special treat), readers may find themselves appreciating these moments of contemplation all the more for the depth of characterization they reveal. The denouement finds the demigods poised for the final battle with Gaea and her minions; they have exactly 14 days to save the world. In this adventure, victories are hard-won and the essence of bravery nuanced, making the journey as satisfying as it is entertaining. (Fantasy. 10-14) Kirkus"

This franchise started with Percy Jackson. And I think his POV in this book was too few and far between. The book is narrated by almost everyone, but a couple main characters like Nico and Rayna did not narrate. So it did not feel complete. If you’re going to almost get to everyone, do them all or choose a few. I would have preferred a narrower POV selection: Percy, someone from the ship (Hazel preferably), Leo when he gets thrown solo for a while, and Rayna as Camp Jupiter marches on Camp Half-Blood. Maybe even Jason here and there.
I really did not get a good feel for Jason in this story, especially since it’s been a year since the last book. I felt his voice was not strong like the other narrators. I liked what he did narrate and how he has realized where his heart belongs (Camp Half-Blood versus Camp Jupiter). It’s a good juxtaposition to Percy, who wants to settle with Annabeth in Camp Jupiter, go to college, and have a life at the camp with other half-bloods (something not offered at Camp Half-Blood *hint, hint, hope for some development*). However, Jason is not as established as Percy and Annabeth or is as unique as Nico, Frank, and Leo, so his personality really does not stick in your head like the other characters. I hope to see a little more from him in the next book beyond being Piper’s boyfriend and the unquestioned leader of the group in Percy’s absence.
I highly appreciated the little things that Mr. Riordan included. Percy’s Riptide is actually a functional pen! Who knew? Calypso’s life and (hopefully) hopeful future. “Bob” who comes to realize he’s more than just a titan. There were a lot of side characters and situations that were very fun to read about. I also liked how Percy really had to look at himself and analyze the things he had done, people he had left behind and/or not followed up on, and what it felt like being the human minority in a monster’s domain. I thought this was a huge turning point for Percy’s life. I’m glad he began to see things from the other side of the coin. Things are not always black and white, including titans, giants, and humans. Percy realized the accountability he has to hold for his actions, and I’m glad this was thoroughly explored.
One thing I am getting a bit tired of is the stalling technique. I know that gods are fickle and vain and all that, but I have no doubt that Mr. Riordan can come up with another exciting way for the demigods to get out of life-or-death situations. I hope there is a little less of this in the next book, because too many characters seemed to use this plot device in this book. It became noticeable and a bit distracting.
So let’s get back to more things I enjoyed about this book. (1) I loved Nico’s revelation. I think it’s great, and I hope he has a stronger voice in the next story. He needs more character development. (2) I loved how the characters on the Argo II became closer. You see them begin to understand each other and help each other more than in the past. They become more of a family than just a group of kids. (3) I liked how Frank began to find confidence in himself especially after his battle on the bridge. His character needed that turning point, and I felt it was well done. (4) The dwarfs were great, especially the mission they were given. (5) The action scenes were awesome. Exciting and charged with cinematic magic! (6) Loved Hazel’s development and her abilities. There is so much potential for her! What she did was very exciting. In this way, Riordan is able to narrate an exciting action sequence without an actual fight. Hazel does not need to pull a sword; she uses her wits to save a situation. I loved that contrast to the other scenes. (7) I really liked the last line. And thank you, Mr. Riordan, for not giving us a pull-your-hair-out cliff-hanger ending! We get a calm before the big battle/storm.
That’s just a summary of a few of the many things I enjoyed. There is so much to enjoy about this book. Riordan is a master craftsman when it comes to blending mythology into a modern tale. He creates diverse characters, had a wicked sense of humor, and shines light into dark situations. I love this series and cannot wait until the next book. Sure, it’s not my favorite book he’s written, but it’s still thoroughly enjoyable, intellectually stimulating, and packed with some awesomely heroic moments.
I don’t want to spoil things for people who haven’t read this series yet (WHAT ARE YOU DOING GO READ THESE), but I will tell you that in THE HOUSE OF HADES, Percy and Annabeth are stuck in Tartarus, where all the evil immortal things go when they are “killed” so that they can be reborn and again unleashed. Percy and Annabeth meet some familiar faces and encounter pretty nasty creatures there. Of course, they also need to make it to a certain spot in Tartarus by a certain deadline in order to prevent the annihilation of humanity, as one does. Meanwhile, the other heroes—Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank, Nico, and Leo—are trying to meet up with Percy and Annabeth to play their own part in the prophecy and to stop the annihilation of humanity. ALSO, they are trying to stop the Roman and Greek camps from going to war with each other. No pressure. As usual, Rick Riordan keeps things fast-paced, funny, and plenty emotional enough to tug on the ol’ heart strings.
I love how Rick Riordan is able to make these books about everyone equally. In the original series, things were obviously about Percy, but The Heroes of Olympus series encompasses a group of unique, brave, smart young people who have to navigate their awkward teenage years while also trying to prevent the goddess Gaea from raising her army of monsters and giants to basically take back the earth from humans. We get just enough time spent with each of the heroes so that we know what they’re going through, what things look like where they are, and how they are dealing with being one of the prophesied 7. THE HOUSE OF HADES gives each character time to shine and show how important they all are to the story (and each other, let’s be honest).
To me, though, the storylines that have stayed with me from THE HOUSE OF HADES involve Percy and Annabeth and Nico. SIGH. These kids. I’ve spent so much time with them over the years that I feel really attached to them, and I think they had some of the more emotional storylines in THE HOUSE OF HADES.
Percy and Annabeth are, as they often seem to be, the heart of this series. Of both series. They are spending time together in the horrid waste that is Tartarus, running not just for their lives but also to save the lives of everyone and everything they know and love. It was lovely to see them fight for each other and worry about one another and find strength in each other. They’re growing up so fast! WAH! But it’s really impossible not to love them, separately and together. It’s been so great to see their relationship mature.
And so that leads me to Nico. OMG GUYS. There are a million reasons that I want to give Nico De Angelo big squishy hugs, but his storyline in THE HOUSE OF HADES is kind of heartbreaking and very emotional and just makes me love him even more. Mostly, though, I imagine that it’s empowering for lots of readers and that’s what makes it so wonderful. Rick Riordan deals with an important issue with lots of heart and grace, and the way the other characters react to it is lovely. NICO ILYYYYYYY!
Of course the drama surrounding our heroes in THE HOUSE OF HADES is, as always, full of surprises and fun and danger. Gaea is growing stronger the closer it gets to her appointed date for TOTAL EARTHLY DESTRUCTION. She’s making it almost impossible for the crew on the Argo II to make it where they need to go to help Percy and Annabeth. Plus, Hazel is coming into her magical abilities and realizes that she’ll need to play a really important role in the success or failure of their mission. The situation is growing more and more dire for our heroes. It was hard to put THE HOUSE OF HADES down because so much was going on.
I honestly can’t recommend Rick Riordan’s Greek/Roman mythology books enough. Percy Jackson is an excellent hero: flawed, brave, confident. The other heroes in THE HOUSE OF HADES all have their own doubts and strengths as well, and Rick Riordan doesn’t shy away from showing us any of them. Honestly: READ THESE. You’ll be feeling like a mama bear over these kiddos in no time. THE BLOOD OF OLYMPUS, I need you and fear you all at once.

Pois aconteceu MUITA coisa neste livro. Muita coisa MESMO. Para o bem para e para o mau, este é um livro que tem é história...
Pelo prisma positivo, é tanta coisa acontecendo que o livro não te deixa respirar. Você precisa chegar no próximo capítulo, precisa chegar no próximo ponto de vista, precisa saber o que está acontecendo em todos os lugares. A minha parte favorita sem sombra de dúvidas foi do Percy e Anabeth (com o gigante Bob –que, aliás... Minha nossa, Riordan!), mas eu amei real o destaque que Frank e Hazel (meus personagens 'novos' favoritos) possuem neste volume. Como dizem os jovens, eles foram o momento.
Porém, estes mesmos pontos que me cativaram, também tiveram aspectos que não me agradaram tanto. O fato do Riordan se fechar tanto nesta necessidade de ter sempre algo acontecendo, sempre colocar 4 capítulos para cada personagem, renderam alguns momentos que – sinceramente – se tivessem sido cortados, não teriam feito diferença nenhuma na narrativa (estou falando de você mesmo, cena em Bolonha). E a benção que o Ares/Marte deu para o Frank... Era realmente necessário? Ninguém ficou incomodado com as entrelinhas? Mesmo do ponto de vista narrativo, a cena final na casa de Hades teve um peso muito maior para o seu amadurecimento e confiança do que a transformação física que ele sofre como uma 'dádiva' do seu pai divino.
Entretanto, mesmo com estes poréns, esta história realmente me cativou e me trouxe muita coisa legal. Veja já, eu passei até a gostar do Leo – um personagem que andava no limiar da indiferença e da impaciência com seu jeitão de 'A-ha, pegadinha do Malandro' – logo após a sua temporada com... Bem, vocês sabem quem. E todo o lance deste livro por si só ser um enorme throwback de coisas que aconteceram na primeira série deste universo também mexeu com a minha nostalgia.
Enfim, em resumo, mesmo tendo coisas que me incomodaram (e que sim, problematizei algo do Riordan, lidem com isto), eu gostei de A Casa de Hades. Tanto que fui buscar ilustrações e fanarts assim que terminei a história - algo que só acontece quando um livro me impacta muito e quero passar mais tempo com os personagens. Então, ele merece a nota que tem. E que passemos para O Sangue do Olimpo.

Dato: Yo utilicé estos libros para aprender inglés, tenía como 18 años en ese entonces y me comencé con la primera saga de Percy Jackson, donde los libros son bastante básicos debido a que en ese entonces Percy Tenía 13 años, pero esta saga está en narrador omnisciente, así que el vocabulario si cambia considerablemente de una saga a otra, sin embargo si tienes nociones básicas del inglés yo digo que puedes leerlos sin ningún problema, apoyada del diccionario o google translator de vez en cuando pero en general son muy fáciles de leer, anímense y disfruten de esta saga si pueden leerla.
