Heroes of Olympus: House of Hades, is a fiction book based
off Greek mythology by Rick Riordan; the fourth book in the Heroes of
Olympus series. This book focuses on the first person viewpoints of Seven
different heroes; these heroes being half human and half gods, called
half-bloods. The heroes are trying to seal the doors because if they don't then
nobody will die which is causing chaos, mayhem, and destruction. This is one of
the most action packed and exciting books I've ever read.
Rick Riordan uses the first person viewpoints for seven
characters yet manages to mix all of these into one coherent story that makes
sense. Each of the seven main heroes get their respective spotlight and time to
shine. You're going to become attached to at least one of the characters along
the way. Their adventures to save the Earth from evil forces coming out of the
Underworld is told intriguingly, interestingly, and coherently. It all
makes sense and comes together at the end and will leave you satisfied.
I would recommend this book to people who like Greek
Mythology or fiction books in general. Rick Riordan does an amazing job mixing
in seven different viewpoints and tying in a story that spans five different
books throughout multiple years. The story and characters are awesome and it
has a lot of humor in it. This is a great read and you should add it to your
summer reading list.
