Blood of Olympus Book Review

After nine years, the universe which demigods inhabit have closed off an arc with the Blood of Olympus. The conclusion to the Heroes of Olympus was delivered with the tag #therewillbeblood and as promised, blood arrived.

No spoilers for the book, but there was blood and tragedy in the finale of the series. It's only pitiable that Riordan didn't deliver everywhere else. The book was definitely solid. Heart pounding action, enjoyable character banter, and a heartwarming final chapter help the Blood of Olympus send of the series with flare. So where does it underwhelm?

Seeing Rick Riordan

Legions of fans assemble around the world to flock his latest book, but a few local fans got the chance to see him in the flesh and blood. That's right demigods and magicians. Rick Riordan came to Toronto and I'm here to give you the full scoop.

The event took place at the Bloor Street United Church as part of Riordan's book tour of the final installment of the Heroes of Olympus series, the Blood of Olympus. At the event, there was all kinds of swag from Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter t-shirts, bracelets, and signed copies of the Blood of Olympus. All this made the evening a one of epic fan-girling from the minute we stepped in.
