My Hero of Olympus series continues, and Book 3 is now completed, I love falling into a world and following along with Characters and the world that Riordan has created, He has such a power and passion for words that leave me just becoming lost in his world and not able to let go until the end of the season. 
 
 Annabeth, Jason, Piper and Leo reach Camp Jupiter with their warship, Argo II, to tell the roman demi-gods that they must forget their animosity and team up with them to defeat Gaea. But things don’t go as expected. Leo, in the influence of Gaea, fires at them. Now the romans think it is the trick that Greeks want to destroy Camp-Jupiter. All the seven demi-gods, Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Hazel, Frank and Leo escape with Argo II and go to the ancient land of Rome to stop giants from awakening Gaea. 

But that's not enough. Nico is also missing. They must find him too. 

That's not enough again! Annabeth, on her mother's orders, must follow the Mark of Athena which will lead to a thing which can help them to defeat giants. 

 

This was such a fun and enjoyable listen, our heroes do have a difficult time as the start especially getting to grips will all 7 of them being on a quest, but throughout the course of the book they find their symphony. There are lots of amazing moment with each hero having their own moment to shine and I love each of the POV’s throughout the book getting to see the story from their perspective made is such a fun listen.  

 

The book combines love, action, friendship, loyalty, leadership and bravery, into one solid and good story, that even if it ended with THE BIGGEST CLIFFHANGER EVER, I still enjoyed every part of it.
