The House Of Hades

The House Of Hades

By Rick Riordan

 

The book "The House Of Hades" is the fourth in the series called the Heroes Of Olympus.

It's based around the Greek Gods, the Roman Gods and their children called Demigods. It uses characters from the series Percy Jackson and adds in more characters as the story goes on.

The main characters are Percy, Annabeth, Bob, Hazel, Frank, Jason, Leo, Piper, Nico and Coach Hedge.

A demigod is the child of a god and a mortal. The demigods actually have powers , Percy is a son of Poseidon the god of water so he can control water. Annabeth is a daughter of Athena the god of wisdom so she is very tactical. Bob is actually a Titan so he was born just under the power of the gods and has many powers. Hazel is a daughter of Pluto the roman god of riches and death so she can summon riches (partly because of a curse though). Frank is a son of Mars the roman god of war so he can 'rage' and turn into berserker. Jason is a son of Jupiter the roman god of air so he can control the air. Piper is a daughter of Aphrodite so she can charm speak which is like bending people from their will. Nico is a son of Hades the god of the underworld so he communicates very well with the dead. Leo is a son of Hephaestus, the god of machinery so Leo is very good with machinery and crafting. Coach Hedge is a satyr, a half goat half human. Put all of that together and you have a powerful team.

At the end of the last book Percy and Annabeth fell into a 9-day fall deep hole called Tartarus, what a cliff hanger. Just be sure that Bob doesn't come in until later. In the start of this book it tells us about how Annabeth and Percy finished their landing in the hole. There is a river right below them so Percy summons it up to cushion their fall. The only way out of the underworld is through the doors of death, but their friends have to be there because of an enemy waiting for for Annabeth and Percy.

There are two stories in this book that happen in parallel. It switches perspectives between Percy and Annabeth and their friends who are coming to help them.

My favorite part of the story is when Percy and Annabeth meet the doors of death but a surprise is waiting for them. There is a big battle, and I like battles!

The Hunger Games Catching Fire

Before you read this review, read my review of 'the hunger games'

In the start of the book 'The Hunger Games 2' Katniss and Peeta get used the Victor Village, as well as making plans their wedding. Katniss isn't really excited about it because it is only to steer away from the threats of President Snow, and that threat is to destroy everything she loves. Things are getting bad for Katniss, Gale has been whipped, the fence has been turned on full time, there are uprisings in nearly half the districts and this is only the beginning. Just before the wedding President Snow announces the annual quarter quell Hunger Games, he says "On the seventy-fifth anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that even the strongest among them cannot overcome the power of the Capitol, the male and female tributes will be reaped from their existing pool of victors". Once all trained up Katniss is on the pad/starter position and the bugle goes in 3,2,1 blooooop and she dives into water. She resurfaces at the cornucopia to find a bow and arrows. She equips them and- read to find out! It's actually quite thrilling so I wouldn't spoil it for the world, maybe. You'd know that I would never give away the best bit which in this case is half the book.

The main characters are Katniss, Peeta, President Snow and Haymitch is actually quite important in this book. Last if all, Finnick is a team member in Katniss's team. The side characters are Prim, Gale, Effie, Beetee, Johanna, Wiress, Mag and Katniss's mom. 

My favorite character is Beetee because he is very smart and always has some logic in things.
My favorite bit was just after Katniss and her team had found water. And it rained some troublesome stuff on them.

Thank you for reading this review, bye!

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games

By Suzanne Collins

If I say "the games"I mean the hunger games, just getting that out of the way.

The hunger games is based in a world called a dystopia, dystopia means the worst place you could think of. the opposite of utopia.

The Hunger Games is an annual game which controlled by the Capitol and  is screened live on television. Each district contributes two players, one boy and one girl, with the winner being the last one of the 24 players to be alive . The Capitol is trying to keep the districts in place with hunger games by taking their children as a 'tribute'.

Now that you know where the hunger games is from and based we can get to the characters.

The main character is a girl called Katniss Everdeen, she lives in district twelve in the seam. There are 12 districts there once was a thirteenth but they started up a rebellion against the Capitol and the people in district thirteen got killed. The other characters are, Gale, he goes hunting with Katniss most of the time in the first book. Petta, he goes with Katniss to the hunger games. Prim is Katniss's sister. In the book it doesn't state her mothers name but she has a mother. Her father died in a mine explosion. Effie Trinket prepares Katniss and Petta for the games. Haymitch is a former games winner and also helps Katniss and Petta prepare for the games. Cinna is Katniss's stylist.

 

My favorite character is Gale because he's smart and skilled with the art of survival.

The most memorable moment for me was at the end when the 'death match' was happening a can't tell why because it would totally wreck it.

I give this book a amazingly magnificent 5 stars!!!!!! Because it was thrilling, scary and absolutely amazing in every way.
