The House of Hades by Rick Riordan Review!!

At the conclusion of The Mark of Athena, Annabeth and Percy tumble into a pit leading straight to the Underworld. The other five demigods have to put aside their grief and follow Percy's instructions to find the mortal side of the Doors of Death. If they can fight their way through the Gaea's forces, and Percy and Annabeth can survive the House of Hades, then the Seven will be able to seal the Doors from both sides and prevent the giants from raising Gaea. But, Leo wonders, if the Doors are sealed, how will Percy and Annabeth be able to escape?

They have no choice. If the demigods don't succeed, Gaea's armies will never die. They have no time. In about a month, the Romans will march on Camp Half-Blood. The stakes are higher than ever in this adventure that dives into the depths of Tartarus.

*stares at ya'll* *stares at book* This book hurt me on so many levels. And yet it lifted my hopes. The characters were FANTASTIC! Each character had character development even if they only had one chapter. 

Percy and Annabeth were in Tartarus for most of this book and seeing our badass babies trying to survive was one of the most heartbreaking parts in the entire book. I feel that we really saw how tired they were of the fighting.

The Argo demigods are distressed because they don't know what to do but Nico kind of gets them to focus. 

NICOOOO AND HIS CRUSHHH ON PERRRRCCYYY. I am not bothered by this, I think it makes a bit of sense if you look back on stuff. I feel bad for him because he can't accept himself. Kudos to Rick for this! 

All in all, I loved it!!!
