About this listen

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 mightbe 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.

Featured Article: Percy Jackson—A Percy Jackson and the Olympians Character Guide


Percy Jackson is the eponymous hero of the best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan. He made his debut in The Lightning Thief at just 12 years old, where he discovered the shocking truth about his parentage: He is a demigod, the son of a mortal woman and the god Poseidon. Beyond his own series, he was one of the protagonists in the Heroes of Olympus series and has since appeared in other spin-off novels and series from Riordan.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Though the ending was very surprising, there were some neat little bits that hint at what our heroes will be doing in the future. A well rounded conclusion and acceptable end to this world we've been entranced with all the way from Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief to this final novel. I was pleased and the wait was well worth it.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the use of the rotating narration from each character, and was surprised and elated to finally see things from Nico's and Reina's point of view.

Have you listened to any of Nick Chamian’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've noticed so many listeners have stated that Nick Chamian's performance got worse. I have to disagree. I thought he did much better than his previous works. He may not be as good as Joshua Swansen or Jesse Bernstein, but he has come into his own and I was much more pleased with him for the final work in Riordan's world of demigods.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Where most stories have a single hero, the Blood of the Olympus has nine.

Any additional comments?

Loved finally getting to look into Nico's point of view, the poor kid went through so much and learning about his.......huge secret in the last novel, I wanted to know how he felt about others and see if there was a way he could find acceptance. I loved seeing the Amazon's and the hunter's of Artemis one last time and how they worked together. I'm rather sad there is no other stories about this world of demigods. Well, even if there is more to come, I would want to revisit the same characters as I've come to enjoy in Heroes of Olympus series.

Better than expected!
