Comparatively, this book is missing something that made The Last Olympian so stellar. The latter was one massive battle after a four-book lead-up, while The Blood of Olympus felt more like two separate battles that seem to be over relatively quickly. The fight against the Titans only lasts a chapter or so; it took two books to get to that point, and it's over like that. The thing between Nico and Will also feels rushed at the last minute to make way for another series. 

However, it was still an enjoyable read, and much better than the first book in the series,
