Let me ask you how does plunging into a monster filled abyss sound, Not very fun? The book I will be writing about is the next installment in Rick Riordan’s Heroes of Olympus series HOUSE OF HADES. In this book Percy and Annabeth venture through Tartarus to open the Doors of Death in the underworld whilst Leo, Piper, Jason, Frank, and Hazel travel to Epirus to open them in the mortal world.

Another is their intelligence, while Percy is lacking in knowledge which he makes up for on the battlefield, Carter has a surplus due to his father being an Egyptologist which grants him an advantage against most
