House of Hades

Understanding the book:

At the end of the last book, Percy and Annabeth (who are the main characters of this series get trapped into the underworld. And the only way to free them is to find the Doors of Death on both sides, the rest of the demigods leave with much grief to set off on a quest to find these mythical doors.

Brief Summary:

The House of Hades is the 4th book from Rick Riordan's series "Heroes of Olympus". So far I am on page 56 and a lot has happened. Firstly, the Argo II (which is Leo's and the rest of the demigod's ship) has been attacked by rock gods in the Apennine Mountains, which they have to cross, but Leo manages to defend the ship fairly well without taking that much damage. These attacks are worrying for the group of demigod's and Hazel, the daughter of Hades, thinks that all these attacks are because of her since she is the daughter of the God of the Underworld and that all the ground spirits don't appreciate her presence. However they need to fly the ship to land (Oh! If you didn't know, they have a flying boat) so that Hazel can talk with Hecate, the Godess of magic. She is then given the choice between three doorways, one that shows to camps fighting, the other that shows the Argo II crossing the Apennines but severely damaged, and the last door show Hazel, Leo, and Frank (son of Mars) badly injured with Percy and Annabeth motionless nearby. The question is: which one will she choose?

Opinion so far:

So far I am enjoying the book because I love rick Riordan's style of writing. Science-fiction is also my favourite genre of book to read as I find it the most entertaining and enjoyable to read. The book has also made me want to read so much more due to its suspense and I can't wait to get back to reading it!
