I love how the heroes were challenged in this book and we were forced to consider Percy's flaws. The only thing I disliked was that it felt like there were a few too many plot conveniences.

 Having read more than a fair few of Rick Riordan’s books in the past, I began the House of Hades familiar with Riordan’s ability to intertwine humor and tragedy. That being said when the book opened with the downtrodden crew of the Argo II fighting monsters and Percy and Annabeth slowly trudging through Tartarus, it was clear that Riordan was taking his talent to a whole new level.

Without Percy to placate the sea, the crew of the Argo II is forced to travel over land in their attempt to reach the House of Hades, where they hope to rendezvous with Percy and Annabeth to close the Doors of Death. The House of Hades is packed with glimmers of hope, moments of despair, and more than a few instances of desperate demigods completely winging it.

Riordan took the time he needed to sort out the issues and the mythology, not rushing the plot, but not letting it drag either. My only disappointment was the way the two timelines connect. On the Argo II, a month passes while the crew makes their way to the House of Hades, but in Tartarus, Annabeth and Percy only manage to find time to sleep a handful of times. It wasn’t clear whether this was supposed to represent the near-constant-torture of existing in Tartarus, or if it was simply an oversight in the two storylines.

This one took me a really long time to get through, but it was another good installment in the series. I was definitely rooting for the characters all the way through, and I loved Frank's and Leo's character development. I'd recommend this to any fan of adventure stories or anyone who is into this series already.
