The House of Hades

                                                  The House of Hades

         Today, I did my blog on the House of Hades. The House of Hades is the 4th book in the heroes of Olympus series. I also had a previous blog post on the 3rd book of the series, "The Mark Of Athena". In the book, I am currently on page 105 and it's very action packed. I am craving to go back to the book and bury my head into the book.


        So far at the beginning of the book, it continues from where the previous book, "The Mark of Athena" had ended. The Mark of Athena ended off in a bang because Percy and Annabeth drop into Tartarus and the only thing they say is, "Meet You On The Other SIDE!" (Page 15). This tells me that they are determined to make it through the pits of Tartarus where no human has walked across and survived. This is very suspensful and I had been waiting for  long time to get a hold of this book because of the plot twist that had occured at the end of The Mark of Athena.

       The setting of this book varies, it gives a Point of View in both the overworld and Tartarus. Tartarus is where devils and titans go after they die, it is a horrible and very dangerous place for demigods or even gods to go to. Even the lord of the underworld, Hades, is terrified to go into Tartarus. The overworld setting is aboard Argo II, also they are journeying to the House of Hades, or the location of the Doors of Death, their way of rescuing Percy and Annabeth and stopping giants and other monsters from coming from Tartarus. This is a picture of the cover of "The House of Hades":




            This picture depicts Percy walking through Tartarus with Annabeth and they're both badly injured. This picture also shows how difficult it must be to go through Tartarus even though they're badly injured and the people who go through are perfectly healed never return Tartarus.

            In the near future of my reading of this book, I predict that this book will lead to how Percy and Annabeth will eventually escape due to the demigods aboard the Argo 2 will have to beg Hades to help the demigods in Tartarus out and Hades ultimately agrees in exchange for a favor which Frank and Leo have to do and I think that there will be a plot twist that Frank works for Gaea and attempts to kill Leo but instead only ends up badly injuring him and meanwhile, Hades tells Percy and Annabeth to make their way to the House of Hades in Tartarus and they eventually do with great difficulty and overall, escapes Tartarus and tries to hunt down Frank to get information on Gaea.
