Review
PRAISE FOR THE BLOOD OF OLYMPUS
." . .fans will revel in the adventures, wit, and memorable characters found in this thundering conclusion to The Heroes of Olympus series."--Booklist OnlinePRAISE FOR THE LOST HERO "Readers longing for a return to Camp Half-Blood will get their wish.... ...the action scenes come frequently as the three heroic teens fight monstrous enemies in North American locales..... Flashes of humor lighten the mood at times, but a tone of urgency and imminent danger seems as integral to this series as the last. With appealing new characters within a familiar framework, this spin-off will satisfy the demand for more."--Booklist
PRAISE FOR THE HOUSE OF HADES "In this adventure, victories are hard-won and the essence of bravery nuanced, making the journey as satisfying as it is entertaining."--Kirkus
