Rereading this was a pleasure. I always love the PJO/HoO characters and this time was no different. I don’t have the emotional connection others have to the Tartarus scene, but it’s still a pretty good moment nonetheless.
The only issue with this was I listened to the audiobook and the narrator wasn’t that great. Hearing the English version of the gods’ names was already confusing at times (as I’ve learned them in French) and he pronounced Gaia “Gee-ah”, which just felt plain wrong. His accents also bordered on offensive at times.
So loved the book, but the narration was subpar. I’ll check if someone else narrates The House of Hades, otherwise I’ll read my paper copy.
