brittmariasbooks 's review for:

The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan
4.0

Rereading The Blood of Olympus made me like the book more. When I first read it after its release a had very high hopes that were not met. Now I can appreciate it for what it is and I really enjoyed it! I still think it would have been cool if the final battle(s) were a bit longer but I enjoyed it nevertheless.

SpoilerI love that we get Nico's and Reyna's points of view as they take the Athena statue across the world. Together with Coach Hedge, they are quite an odd but effective team! I still would have loved to have had points of views of Frank, Hazel, Percy and Annabeth but it comes nicely full circle with the original trio of this series: Jason, Piper and Leo.

And even though I knew what was going to happen, I still teared up at the end.



I'm really glad I reread this series and now I am reading to finish The Trials of Apollo!
