Percy Jackson Heroes of Olympus- The Blood of olympus by Rick Riordan

This is the final book in the Percy Jackson chronicles and, personally, brings this amazing series to a jaw dropping close.

In this book, The team on-board the Argo-II find themselves on their way to Athens, the centre and most important place to all the Greek Gods. Meanwhile, Reyna, Praetor of new Rome and Nico son of God of the Underworld, Hades are on a quest to bring the Athena Parthenos (a giant golden statue of Athena that was made and originally placed in amongst the pavilions of the acropolis) too Camp Half-Blood to stop the Roman and Greek Demigods Warring with each other. The entire New Roman army arrived thirsty for Graecus or "Greek" blood. Every single cohort has turned up to fight. Camp Half-blood has only a few campers in their midst. The fate of Camp Half-blood rests on the shoulders of Nico Di Angelo and Reyna. If they can bring the Athena Parthenos back to camp in time, the war will be stopped. 
Image result for the blood of olympusIt is in Athens that Gaia plans, with her Giant sons and daughters, to overthrow Olympus, Just as the Gods had done to her son, Kronos. Each ghastly Giant was created out of the murkiest and most monstrous parts of Tartarus for two purposes. One is too serve Gaia and the other is to oppose and destroy a certain God. Her overall plan is to water the stones of the Ancient lands with the blood of a male and female Demi-God; half god, half mortal. This, and only this, will wake the Earth mother. Don't forget, the giants, including their king, porphyrion, can only be defeated with the combined powers of both God and Demi-God together. Can Percy and the crew of the Argo II save the world and stop Gaia and her Giant spawn running rampant? Find out in this final thriller of the Heroes of Olympus saga.

RATING: 9/10! A fitting end to the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus sagas.
