Inhalt: Jetzt sind Percy und seine Freunde gefragt: Ihr Todfeind Kronos holt zum letzten Schlag aus und marschiert auf den Olymp zu, mitten ins Herz von New York - dabei sind doch die olympischen Götter alle ausgezogen, um gegen das wiedererstandene Monster Typhon zu kämpfen! Gemeinsam mit den Jägerinnen der Artemis und den zum Leben erweckten Denkmälern der Stadt versuchen die jungen Halbblute, den Sitz der Götter zu verteidigen, aber zu allem Unglück haben sie auch noch einen Spion in den eigenen Reihen. Gut, dass wenigstens eine Göttin im Olymp zurückgeblieben ist ...

Meine Bewertung: Einfach ein gelungener Abschluss!!!

Ich bin so froh, dass ich die Reihe nochmal gelesen habe bevor ich die "Helden des Olymp" anfange, denn ich hatte schon wieder so viel aus dieser Reihe hier vergessen, gerade was den letzten Band anging.

Das Buch war voller Action, hatte aber auch wundervolle ruhigere Charakter Momente. Ich liebe die Entwicklung von den ganzen Charakteren. Ich liebe die Freundschaften. ICH LIEBE ALLES AN DIESER SERIE.

Der Abschluss der Serie war einfach richtig gut gemacht und macht eindeutig richtig viel Lust mit "Helden des Olymp" erneut in die Welt einzutauchen.

Summary: All year the half-bloods have been preparing for battle against the Titans, knowing the odds of victory are grim. Kronos's army is stronger than ever, and with every god and half-blood he recruits, the evil Titan's power only grows.

While the Olympians struggle to contain the rampaging monster Typhon, Kronos begins his advance on New York City, where Mount Olympus stands virtually unguarded. Now it's up to Percy Jackson and an army of young demigods to stop the Lord of Time.

In this momentous final book in the New York Times best-selling series, the long-awaited prophecy surrounding Percy's sixteenth birthday unfolds. And as the battle for Western civilization rages on the streets of Manhattan, Percy faces a terrifying suspicion that he may be fighting against his own fate.

My review: Such a great way to end the series!!!

I'm just so glad that I decided to reread the whole series before moving on to "The Heroes of Olympus", cause I forgot so much about the series and especially the last book.

The book was full of action but still had wonderful quite moments of the characters. I just love how all the characters grew. I love the friendships. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SERIES.

It was a really good way to end the series and make me even more excited to start "The Heroes of Olympus" and dive back into the world.

Der Abschluss der Serie war einfach richtig gut gemacht und macht eindeutig richtig viel Lust mit "Helden des Olymp" erneut in die Welt einzutauchen.

Solid second book. I’ve been traveling all week so apologies about all the book updates. 

So, the series came to an end. I was sorry to say goodbye to the idiots — by which I mean Percy and Grover because Annabeth is too smart. But I am also glad that it ended on the right note. The source of all the trouble on Earth and the reason why the Titans had been able to tap into the demi-gods’ insecurity was because the kids’ parents refused to acknowledge their existence — or even claim them, in some cases. Percy finds a way to improve matters once he is done saving the world that is. The humor and the daring that only teenagers possess has made all the books in this series really shine. This one wasn’t different! 

There is a scene where the main baddie, Kronos, gets sat upon:

Stop running, you fools!” Kronos yelled. “Stand and ACKK!” 
That last part was because a panicked Hyperborean giant stumbled backwards and sat on top of him. The lord of time disappeared under a giant blue butt. 

And there’s this one where Percy dares to sit in his Dad’s, Poseidon, chair on Mount Olympus:

The throne rumbled. A wave of gale-force anger slammed into me. 
WHO DARES-
The voice stopped abruptly, The anger retreated, which was a good thing, because just those two words had almost blasted my mind to shreds. 
Percy. My father’s voice was still angry but more controlled. What-exactly-are you doing on my throne?
“I’m sorry, Father,” I said. “I needed to get your attention.”
This was a very dangerous thing to do. Even for you. If I hadn’t looked before I blasted, you would now be a puddle of seawater. 

OK, not out yet with no release date, same as Peace Talks, no release date either. I did find on Reddit a reference to his website and to see it click here and get your updates for these much-awaited books. As of December 27th, 2018, he is on chapter 39 in Peace Talks, the 16th book in the Harry Dresden Series and will start on Book 2 in the Cinder Spire series call The Olympian Affair. 

Jm also left us with a Christmas Story called Christmas Eve, which takes place between Changes and Cold Days.  No grading system required since it is a very short story.  Go to the link to his page for the short story.

So the gods come back and they are not quite happy. Seriously, a story about self, stepping up, and self-determination. Awesome. Hard hitting. Striking. Wonderful.
