The setting is in modern times, partially in Greece, Italy, and North America. The
demigods visit Ithaca, Pompeii, Olympia and Long Island. They have roughly one
week until the Feast of Spes, which is August 1st, when Gaea is supposed to wake up
at the Parthenon.

D. Plot

As the story opens Jason, Piper, and Annabeth are trying to find out Gaea’s plans. At
the end of book four in the series, Gaea awakened while the heroes took the Athena

Parthenos from the abode of Arachne. Finding out that a large meeting of Gaea’s
underlings looms on the horizon, Annabeth, Jason, and Piper begin to surreptitiously
look into things. Using Hazel’s Mist to disguise themselves, the trio attends the
 gathering of resurrected souls in Ithaca at the home of Odysseus. They find out that
Gaea’s army plans to attack the Acropolis in Athens and not Mount Olympus as had
been thought. The demigods must circle Peloponnese to reach Athens as the Gulf of
Corinth is heavily guarded.

One of the souls sees through the demigods and makes Jason confront the spirit of his
mother which leads to Jason being wounded. The three demigods summon Juno,
who tells them to find Nike at Olympia along with Artemis and Apollo, all of whom
were banished by Zeus. While at Olympia, Percy, Leo, Hazel, and Frank are forced to
be part of the deadly Olympic Games of Nike, whom they are able to capture. She

tells them that one of them is fated to die; they need the “Physician’s Cure” for which
there is three ingredients: Pylosian mint, the heartbeat of the chained god, and the
curse of Delos. Frank obtains Pylosian mint from relatives. They believe the chained
god to be Ares because of a chained statue of him the Spartans had as a guarantee
that they would win all wars. Piper and Annabeth go to the temple of Ares in the ruins
of Sparta to battle for the second ingredient. Further adventures lead to Leo, Frank,
and Hazel meeting with Artemis and Apollo at Delos. Apollo gives them the third
ingredient. He tells them that his son Asclepius can make the cure and that he is at
Epidaurus. When they leave, Leo tells Hazel that he plans to sacrifice himself in order
to beat Gaea and give himself the cure later.

Once they receive the cure from Asclepius and arrive in Athens, the demigods battle

Annabeth are injured by the giants, and Gaea is awakened by their blood.

Meanwhile, Reyna, Nico, and Coach are on their way to Camp Half-Blood. In her
dreams, Reyna learns that a giant is pursuing them. They are attacked when they
reach Evora, but are able to defeat Lycaon and move on to San Juan where Reyna
is from. There, Reyna is taken captive by the Hunters of Artemis, who are working in
conjunction with the Amazons. The leader of the Amazons is Hylla, Reyna’s sister. The
giant is Orion,who kills the Hunters and the Amazons. Continuing their ongoing travels
via shadow-travel, Reyna, Nico, and Hedge go to South Carolina. When Bryce

Upon arriving at Camp Half-Blood, Nico and Coach head to the camp, and Reyna

E. Theme
Rick Riordan pulled the one of the best theme. The main theme of the Blood of
Olympus is that you need to sacrifice to do something big. Gaea needed a sacrifice
to wake up and the demigods need one of their own blood as a sacrifice to beat
Gaea. Another one would be is that friendship is really important whoch leads to the
main theme, because one of them was willing to sacrifice to save the others.

E. Evaluation

As the series go on, I would say that Riordan reached the highest expectation a
reader can feel. The setting and the battle scenes are the most breath taking
scenes of all. I recommend this book/series who loves to do adventurous things. It
was really good and kinda sad because it is the last book of the Heroes of
Olympus. But overall it was fun and intense to read. A round of applause to Rick
as we end this beautifully written series.
