Hazel has to talk with the goddess of magic and crossroads named Hecate. Hecate gives Hazel a few options to choose from. First, they go over the mountains, and be pelted by boulders causing them to crash and potential die. Next, to go back to Rome and stop Gaea  from awaking and most likely dying because she is so powerful. Then, there is another option of going up and around and not having to deal with the mountain gods or Gaea and continue their quest. Hazel choses the option to go up and around the mountains so that they can save Percy, Annabeth, and possibly the world.

Next, when the reach the bottom they get to a cavern, a very large cavern where an island the size of Manhattan could fit in it. Then, Percy controls the water to break their fall but the water causes sadness and depression causing him to not want to swim to the surface. Next, they find a fiat from where they fell from the top and find out arachnid is still alive. Then, they find a river of fire that helps heal them from their injuries when they fell.

The House of Hades is a very easy book to read. It has a very basic vocabulary and it is very easy to follow. The characters are very complex though. For example, Leo is arrogant at the beginning of the series but towards the end of the Mark of Athena, he learns to be a team and puts other peoples needs before his. As the story goes on, characters change as their challenges get harder and harder. The characters are starting to learn to use their resources just like the saying hen life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Through the first ten pages, the book picks up right where it left off. Problems and good description. First, the team leaders of Percy and Annabeth are in the under world. Next, mountain gods are throwing rocks at the ship. Then, Hazel meets the goddess of magic. These problems are causing tension between the team. For example, they are all tired , so they do not want to have to take the night shifts. This is similar to lots of survival movies where they decide to explore later than that moment when they get to tee place they are stranded at.

I have started reading a new book called the House of Hades. It is the fourth book in the series of the Heroes of Olympus. The first book in the series in called the Lost Hero. It is about a boy named Jason who figured out he is the son of Zues. He meets people at Camp Jupiter and goes on an adventure with his friends Leo and Piper. The second book in the series is called the Son of Neptune. It is about Percy waking up at the enemy camp of camp Jupiter and helping them find an important staff to help them win a war. The third book in the series is the Mark of Athena. This is about Annabeth and her friends going to Rome to find an important statue that could stop the war and create peace.
