Though the Greek and Roman crew members of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen - all of them - and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens.

I can not wait for this book to come out it sounds looks and from the multiple cliffhangers i can tell it will be a good book

The last book! We've been through it all, and now it's going to end! *sniffles* GET READY DEMIGODS

DON'T MAKE ME SAD!!!! I still believe that he'll write another series, and if he doesn't....GRRR!

I'm looking forward to his Norse mythology series. (Read: I'm looking forward to the jokes he'll make about Tom Hiddleston.)

I KNOW RIGHT!!!!!! NORSE MYTHOLOGY, HERE WE COME!!!!!!

I don't really know all that much about Norse mythology, to be honest. I know Greek mythology because I used to be a super-huge astronomy nerd (still am, kinda) and my books had sections on astrology and the myths behind them. It got me pretty interested and . . . somehow I ended up here.

this is the next book to come out in the Heros of Olympus series. I really want to read it, but it hasn't come out yet.

Okay, so I know they don't actually have it up on dogobooks yet, but . . . THE COVER WAS JUST RELEASED GO TO RICKS BLOG NOW NOW NOW. *pant, pant* (I actually have very mixed feelings about the cover. Like, why so . . . Roman? This is my childhood you could be destroying, here.)

I KNOW!! I mean, there's Jason jumping down heroically, probably shouting something like: "CHARGE!!" and Hazel on Arion up there, hanging out. She's raising her sword, like "Let's kill these awful giants!" and then Frank's up there too, kind of like a side note, just kinda standing there with his staff, as if to say: "You guys go ahead. I'm too scared that I'll die because of all that lightning he's created." And then there's that crane over there, and something is swinging from it...my brother and I were puzzling over that one. We think the thing hanging over it is Percy tied up in a bag, used as bait, but I'm not really sure. And then of course, there are the giants, and they're standing down there like "Come at us. We're way too strong, and we'll bring you DOWN!" and the Heroes of Olympus will be like: "Okay, and we'll bring YOU down" and then they'll destroy them. That's my interpretation of the cover.

Yeah. Leo might own the crane though.

I don't know. I assumed that it was Leo with a crane, or something. Also, I don't think that it was because of fear that Frank was holding back, but because it was just a better idea for Jason to use lightning at that specific point in the battle. (Also, I think it's fitting that Jason makes what's probably the first move in the battle; y'know, son of Jupiter, blah, blah, blah.) And I'll be honest, if the colors would just COORDINATE more, we would not be having quite this many problems.

Yeah, it's more of the primary colors, and that totally throws you off.

I don't really like the cover...

Follow me ANd I WIll Follow Back ;p

This is the last book I need to read from all the Rick Riordan's books, and I need this. :)

I luv Rick Roirdan's books

Please follow me, I will follow back

Hey, everybody! I think we should all talk about and reflect on all the minor characters who we haven't seen nearly enough of in HoO. (The Stoll brothers, Katie, Clarisse, Chris, Nyssa, Jake, Will, Mitchell, Lacy, Tyson, Grover, Mrs. O'Leary, Gwen, Dakota, etc.) Who do you think will die? (I hope it isn't Gwen or Dakota. I like them. They're cool.)

Oh boy the STOLL BROS??? They remind me so much of Fred and George Weasly. Travis and Katie are super cute together, although I don't know if they ever got together in the book...Clarisse and Chris balance each other out pretty well, and I think we should see more of them, because they're strong characters. OMGOSH, GROVER AND TYSON!!!! Why was Grover not there throughout the HOO series???!!! And Tyson is PRETTY AWESOME himself, and I loved the whole thing with him and Ella. I hope they'll become good friends. Mrs. O'Leary is so awesome, and I hope she makes an appearance as well. There are SO many characters I want to have make an appearance, it's hard to keep track!

YES!!!!!!! The book will be thrown very hard at a wall if Gwen or Dakota die.

I wouldn't throw it at a wall, necessarily. I mean, what did the poor wall ever do to you?

sure! I am new to dogo news. please follow me at Elsa35
