Strictly Rick Riordan discussion

The House of Hades is the fourth book in the Heros of Olympus series. This is where we can chat about what we expect in this book.

I believe the House of Hades is expected to come out in October 2013.

I'll bet he'll break it up into different perspectives like the last two books.

Rick Riordan is an amazing writer but these books aren't grabbing me like the others he has written. I want to be wowed in the first chapter enough so that I won't give up. I know he can do it :)

I hope that he doesn't drag the series out. 5-6 books is plenty.

I hope he does, but like in the PJ series, he comes up with a new major conflict for that individual book. I agree that if he drags out the story-line it will get boring- but I love the characters.

Me too, but I want to know what happens! That is the problem with series. You want them to end so you know what happens, but you don't want them to end because you like them so much!

The official release date is October 8th, 2013. I am so excited!

And we'll get our hearts broken again by a cliffie=.=

I know :( All authors seem to think that without a cliff hanger, we wouldn't read any more of their books.

Somebody who understands! :D

:) I have read lots of books.

Lots of series, to be more precise.

I feel like all authors think with a one track mind- cliffhanger! :)

Agreed.

I've actually read a book without a cliff hanger. I can't remember who wrote it though.....

Yeah, I also read a couple...

I have, but only at the end of series.

Everyone has been posting the first page of the HOH that was found in the Son of Sobek. I have already read it and it seems the characters are already being attacked. I can give you guys a link to it if you'd like.

I can't wait to read!

Just the first page though.

cool! thanks for the link!

Seems like they're already being attacked though. :)

I'll have to post the rest of the chapter later because I'm on my kindle. ^^

Yeah...it is hard to post things from a Kindle!

Mmkay I'll give the rest of the links now.

Cliffhanger ending!!! :(

There is always one of those, isn't there! Thanks Rhea!

Do you think Percabeth will survive the House of Hades?

I can't decide whether they'll get closer, or if it will be bad for their relationship.

That is where I am at...they definitely have some problems, but they have been through a lot together.

I'm sure for the sake of selling more books, he'll have them get in some sort of fight and then make up and be closer than before.

Yeah, that's what most book series tend to do. I wish more authors would change that up. It would make them a lot more interesting!

I know! I feel like a lot of YA books have pretty much the same storyline.

Yeah. Especially when someone gets a new idea and then a bunch of other authors make books almost just like it. For instance, I have never read the Twilight series, but after that series came out, almost every new book was about vampires.

Thanks for the links!

Your welcome, guys. ^^
I guess that kind of storyline is popular.

that and romance triangles- seriously- there way too many romance triangles! :)

agreed!!

I third that motion!!

I'm super excited just to have some new Percy Jackson stuff come out- this is one of this series that you have to wait for forever for something new, book or movie. :)

Totally, and rick kind of promised for more spoilers in the end of september...and OMG just two months left :D

So looking forward to it!! I have it pre-ordered on my kindle!

I know!!! I'm suuuuuuper excited!!!
