CRITIC

There's something about reading every single Percy Jackson book that feels as if you're at a sporting event, rooting for your home team (Rome! Greece! Beat those Titans!) with loads of pride. Each season the players get better and better, some coming off the bench for the first time and scoring the winning whatever -- basket, touchdown, giant death blow. It's time to get out those pom-poms again: the home team brings it in THE HOUSE OF HADES, especially Frank and Hazel in the mortal world and Percy and Annabeth in Tartarus. And Leo -- yes, he finally meets someone! No more brooding over Hazel. And Piper with those wind gods? Rah, rah, rah!

It's a Herculean task to put all seven demigods in the spotlight at least once and make it count. Rick Riordan somehow manages to keep everyone's story pretty interesting, though Jason's role seems slightly less compelling considering he's the son of Zeus. It's also a huge task to take two favorite characters into an abyss of misery and despair and keep it a book for tweens and teens. Here's an extra rah-rah for Bob the jovial janitor for lightening things up in the underworld.
