Book 22: Blood of Olympus

The fifth and final book in Riordan's "Heroes of Olympus" series, Blood of Olympus is narrated by Reyna and Nico covering the return of the Athena Parthenon to Camp Half Blood as well as Piper and Leo to recount the end of the quest of seven against Gaea.  In the statue group, Nico is struggling to move the massive statue through the shadows, and they already have enough monsters to fight before Orion the hunter and a pack of werewolves are set on their trail.  With help from Hades, the Amazons, the Hunters of Artemis, and others, the group learns to work together to ensure their portion of the quest is complete and to stop war from breaking out between Camp Half Blood and Camp Jupiter.  Aboard the Argo II, the seven demigods take turns on a series of small quests to gather intel, subdue a crazed victory goddess, and gather the final pieces needed to complete their end of the quest by defeating the giants and stopping Gaea.

A well crafted end to a good series.  4 stars.
