Percabeth update: Rick has confirmed that Annabeth and Percy are alive. Speaking of which, Nico better be okay and he better stay alive and Rick Riordan, don't you dare lay a finger on Nico! If you do, I swear, you better sleep with one eye open.
Screw Team Percy or Team Jason, I'm Team Nico DiAngelo! My undying love fascination of his character is just so deep, and I swear, I just want him to get out of that damned jar. I think I would cry and hyperventilate if it's Nico's perspective! My heart wouldn't be able to take it. Yes, I acknowledge the fact that we have to wait to read this book for practically a year.īut on a different and much happier note: The title of the book is House of Hades Since the House of Hades is the second to last book in the series, I predict there will be a big cliffhanger! That last book left me in a jumble of emotions and feels and thoughts. The book was a fantastic read, just as the rest of the series was.But above all, I just want this book to come out! (or at least have any spoilers - I mean, I'm dying here!) The House of Hades was the number one on the New York Times Children's Series Bestseller, USA Today bestseller, Publishers' Weekly bestseller, Globe & Mail juvenile bestseller and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists. I agree that a good book should not ignore difficult questions or situations: it should embrace them and Riordan does this in a subtle, yet effective way. To pretend they do not, to fail to recognise that they have needs for support and validation like any child, would be bad teaching, bad writing and bad citizenship." He stated, referring to his experience as a teacher: "The idea that we should treat sexual orientation itself as an adults-only topic, however, is absurd. When questioned about this decision, Riordan said that his books do not contain any content beyond what you might find in a PG-rated movie.
In The House of Hades, Riordan also decided to explore some more mature themes, such as sexuality, when a character confessed to having a 'crush' on one of the book's main male protagonists. You would think it would be difficult to keep up with seven characters telling the story but Riordan writes it fantastically, keeping the plot flowing with ease. The story is told in third person, yet every few chapters the character telling it changes, alternating between Percy and Annabeth in Tartarus and the rest of the crew as they desperately try to reach their destination in time. Riordan continues to deliver with cracking wit, astonishing depth and his own unique, modernised spin on the mythology we all know. This book is no less action-packed and thrilling than the others.
