This one is where things really shift. The vibes are much darker, and I love it. This book gives Hazel a much-needed spotlight. Watching her learn to control the Mist was so cool. I was hooked right from the start, and compared to the last book, this one moves at a much better pace.
Leo continues to be one of my favorite characters. His inventions have this innocent, creative charm. I always forget about Buford, but he reminds me so much of the footstool from Beauty and the Beast. Also Frank finally gets the attention he deserves. Seeing more of him was long overdue, and I adore him.
And then there’s Small Bob. I would die for Small Bob.
The character balance is much better in this one. Everyone gets a decent amount of time, and the action felt way more evenly spread out. I also loved seeing more of Piper; it felt like she’d been sidelined a bit before, but not this time. My only real complaint is that one of the final fights ended too abruptly. I was expecting more buildup, but I may just need to go and reread it.
The ending was so bittersweet. Definitely had me choked up a few times. Overall, House of Hades is definitely my favorite so far.

A solid fourth book. I enjoyed it, even though personally I am getting a tiny bit tired of them doing the same thing over and over again. (Rest-fight monster-rest-fight new monster-rest-fight *a lot* of monsters-rest until book five)
But I adore the characters and honestly maybe I’m a little too old for this, so the upper criticism is on me 🫣
I love Greek mythology, the characters and complexities in this and how fast it’s reading, so overall, good.

amazing but there were some things that brought it down to 4* (i.e. leo/calypso, frank's physical transformation thing)
