And while Mr. Riordan certainly hasn\u2019t lost his appeal, he has developed some quirks that come with having written nine books (following the original Percy Jackson series) on basically the same subject. So as you can imagine, the House of Hades follows Percy and Annabeth\u2019s journey through Tartarus and the rest of the demigods as they travel to the Doors of Death. Be prepared for two things: surprises and a LOT of fillers. Sure there were some really epic battles, such as the climax in the House of Hades, but there were also a lot of voids in the story, places that really could\u2019ve been omitted and still the story would\u2019ve been pretty awesome. But Riordan masterfully links all of those fillers to the overall story, especially love stories. Also, a lot of old characters, good and evil will be coming back, so read up on the previous books. Like ALL the previous books. And even the extra books that came out such as The Demigod Files. All in all though, it really primes you up for the ultimate battle coming next year in the fifth\u00a0installation. 4 stars. &#8211;Joey, teen reviewer<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Find the book in our library: \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/pgpl-mt.iii.com\/iii\/encore_pasadena\/record\/C__Rb1504128__SHouse%20of%20Hades__P0%2C3__Orightresult__U__X6?lang=eng&amp;suite=pasadena\">House of Hades<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pgpl-mt.iii.com\/iii\/encore_pasadena\/record\/C__Rb1504128__SHouse%20of%20Hades__P0%2C3__Orightresult__U__X6?lang=eng&amp;suite=pasadena\">\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8211;review by Joey, teen reviewer The House of Hades by Rick Riordan Greek and Roman demigods from the Prophecy of Seven must work together to seal the Doors of Death&#8211;and help Percy and Annabeth escape the Underworld in the process.
