Though the Greek and Roman crew members of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen - all of them - and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens.

You guys. You guys, seriously. How long have we been reading these books? I don't even remember when I read TLT. Percy's been through so much with us. We've laughed and cried alongside him, and in a few hundred pages, it'll all be over. This . . . is not okay.

It isn't. I read TLT about a year ago though, because I was too young for the books when they were first coming out! *sheds tears, wishing I could've read them when I was younger*

Aw, poor thing. I read them when I was really little. I don't remember when, but I read Harry Potter (all of them) when I was five or six, if you want that as a comparison.

THE COVER IS BEAUTIFUL!! Look on his blog, Myth and Mystery, and it will pop up. IT'S SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd read his blog but I'm still mad at him about HoH.

Oh...well, if you look past that, then it's a whole lot better. But believe me, my mom and I were VERY mad at him about that. Seriously, we were about to throw the book at the wall!!!

But why? Ignoring other's differences never helped anyone.

Yes, but it still doesn't mean I like it.

Yeah, but why? (I don't mean to offend anyone, I'm just curious.)

Well, nothing against people who think like that, but I just don't believe that people should think that way. There's a lot of other stuff tied up into it, and if I ever meet you, I'll explain it to you.

Well I loved the first series so I thought that the second series would be awesome to. I gave it a 1,000,000,000 out of 10! You would love this book to!

I can not wait for this book to come out it sounds looks and from the multiple cliffhangers i can tell it will be a good book

this is the next book to come out in the Heros of Olympus series. I really want to read it, but it hasn't come out yet.

Okay, so I know they don't actually have it up on dogobooks yet, but . . . THE COVER WAS JUST RELEASED GO TO RICKS BLOG NOW NOW NOW. *pant, pant* (I actually have very mixed feelings about the cover. Like, why so . . . Roman? This is my childhood you could be destroying, here.)

I KNOW!! I mean, there's Jason jumping down heroically, probably shouting something like: "CHARGE!!" and Hazel on Arion up there, hanging out. She's raising her sword, like "Let's kill these awful giants!" and then Frank's up there too, kind of like a side note, just kinda standing there with his staff, as if to say: "You guys go ahead. I'm too scared that I'll die because of all that lightning he's created." And then there's that crane over there, and something is swinging from it...my brother and I were puzzling over that one. We think the thing hanging over it is Percy tied up in a bag, used as bait, but I'm not really sure. And then of course, there are the giants, and they're standing down there like "Come at us. We're way too strong, and we'll bring you DOWN!" and the Heroes of Olympus will be like: "Okay, and we'll bring YOU down" and then they'll destroy them. That's my interpretation of the cover.

Yeah. Leo might own the crane though.

I don't know. I assumed that it was Leo with a crane, or something. Also, I don't think that it was because of fear that Frank was holding back, but because it was just a better idea for Jason to use lightning at that specific point in the battle. (Also, I think it's fitting that Jason makes what's probably the first move in the battle; y'know, son of Jupiter, blah, blah, blah.) And I'll be honest, if the colors would just COORDINATE more, we would not be having quite this many problems.

Yeah, it's more of the primary colors, and that totally throws you off.

Follow me ANd I WIll Follow Back ;p

This is the last book I need to read from all the Rick Riordan's books, and I need this. :)
