Waiting on Wednesday - The Blood of Olympus


Waiting on Wednesday startades av Jill från Breaking the Spine.
Det är till för att visa upp kommande böcker man längtar lite extra till.


The Blood of Olympus av Rick Riordan
The Heroes of Olympus #5
Releasedatum: 7 Oktober 2014

Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen—all of them—and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood—the blood of Olympus—in order to wake.

The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it "might" be able to stop a war between the two camps.

The Athena Parthenos will go west; the Argo II will go east. The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea's army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over.

Kommentar: Det här är höstens mest efterlängtade bok för mig, och jag både längtar samt är
livrädd över hur allt ska sluta.

    1. Oh, I hope you'll like it! The first series is really good (even if I didn't really like the first book), but I think The Heroes of Olympus is at least ten times better! I hope you get to catch up soon, I can't wait to see what you think. :)
      And thanks for stopping by. :)

    1. This is the final one. I really think you should read them, since it's so much better than the first series, and I hope you'll love them if you do. :) Thanks for stopping by. :)

  6. Ha. I feel the same way,I want it so bad but I don't want it to end and I'm worried it might either break my heart or actually kill me. =)

    1. I think it's definitely going to be a lot of heartbreak, and I'm so scared. I just hope it's going to be amazing until it kills us. ;) Thanks for stopping by. :)
