Finished off The Heroes of Olympus series...

Golden Son (Red Rising Trilogy #2) by Pierce Brown
Pg. 464
Plot twist!!!!
Now I have to wait an entire YEAR for the last book!
A YEAR!!!!!
UGHHHH!!!!!
*****

The Son of Neptune (The Heroes of Olympus #2) by Rick Riordan
Pg. 528
The story was very predictable, esp after reading book one.  It refers to the Percy Jackson series a lot, which I haven't read nor intend to due to the fact that basically everything is discussed in this book series.  That and I have seen the movies.  It's hard for me to read the books after seeing the movies.
***

The Mark of Athena (The Heroes of Olympus #3) by Rick Riordan
Pg. 586
Got kinda tennagery on me, granted that's the population it's geared to.  I did like the adventures in this book more than the first 2 books, and the cross-over of more history and mythology.

The House of Hades (The Heroes of Olympus #4) by Rick Riordan
Pg. 597
These are pretty long/big books all things considering.
Very clever these demi-gods and their quick-witted thinking to get them out of trouble with bad guys.
I did have to look up some of the characters to see what mythology really says about them.  I was surprised to come across the goddess "Nyx" since she's in that awe-full House of Night series, and when I looked up her (I tend to ignore all the Wikipedia entries), most of the top hits were pages dedicated to this Nyx lady by crazy teens.

The Blood of Olympus (The Heroes of Olympus #5) by Rick Riordan
Pg. 528
It felt like the end "battle" was super short and then the tying up of loose ends was drawn out. Everyone got their happy ending.
 A good concluding book to an entertaining series.
