EPIC!
Doomsday is at the doorstep. The invincible Kronos, Lord of Time, Luke, and the unstoppable army of gods, demigods and monsters progressively approach Manhattan to finally destroy a lightly guarded Mount Olympus. Percy, Annabeth, Grover and a handful of determined demigods and allies, the only obstacles in their way. Nothing can stop the incoming onslaught, and the fulfillment of the so dreaded prophecy. Everything will be settled in an epic godlike battle that will forever decide the fate of the Olympians, and the future of the whole western civilization.
This is it, the end of the line. Gosh! This was so EPIC! So many things happening you can barely recount them all. The assault on Princess Andromeda, the exploration of Luke’s origins, Underworld’s River Styx, the Battle of Manhattan... Virtually every single character that had ever been part of the series had some sort of involvement in this final adventure. Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Clarisse, Nico, Tyson, Rachel, Mrs. O'Leary, Thalia, the Hunters of Artemis, Charles and Silena� So many of the gods too, like Poseidon, Amphitrite, Triton, Hestia, Hades, Persephone, Achilles, Athena, Hermes, Hecate� And the terrifying Titans, like Kronos, Typhon, Oceanus, Morpheus, Prometheus, Hyperion, Drakon� Everyone bringing their small or big contribution to this grand final confrontation. So many events, plot twists and conflicting sides fighting for their ideals, and still simple enough for one to never lose perspective of the big picture, never too overcrowded, or difficult to grasp the magnitude of it. After five books the build up was just explosive. Words fail me to describe such amount of EPICNESS, only comparable to the Battle of Hogwarts, or the Siege of Gondor. Unparalleled, and truly unforgettable.
This ended just right, beautifully in its way, although it was not a happy ending for everyone. Such an amazing conclusion to one of my most beloved series. And a universe I definitely plan to revisit soon, with Heroes of Olympus, and any of the other many series of the author. Bye all my dearest Heroes! And Percabeth Forever <3!

¡ʱ䰿!
El Día del Juicio Final ha llegado. El invencible Cronos, Señor del Tiempo, y el imparable ejército de dioses, semidioses y monstruos progresivamente se acerca a Manhattan para finalmente destruir un Monte Olimpo levemente defendido. Percy, Annabeth, Grover y un puñado de determinados semidioses y aliados, el único obstáculo en su camino. Nada puede detener el inevitable asalto, y el cumplimiento de la tan temida profecía. Todo va a decidirse en una épica batalla divina que por siempre sellará el destino de los Olímpicos, y el futuro de toda la civilización occidental.
Esto es él, el final de la línea. ¡Dios! ¡Esto fue tan EPICO! Tantas cosas sucediendo que apenas pueden enumerarse todas. El asalto al Princesa Andrómeda, la exploración de los orígenes de Luke, el Río Estigio en el Inframundo, la Batalla por Manhattan� Prácticamente todos y cada uno de los personajes que alguna vez tuvieron algún papel en la serie tuvo algún grado de intervención en esta aventura final. Percy, Annabeth, Grover, Clarisse, Nico, Tyson, Rachel, Señora. O'Leary, Thalia, las Cazadoras de Artemisa, Charles y Silena� Muchos de los dioses también, como Poseidón, Anfitrite, Tritón, Hestia, Hades, Perséfone, Aquiles, Atenea, Hermes, Hecate� Y los terroríficos Titanes, como Cronos, Tifón, Océano, Morfeo, Prometeo, Hiperión, Drakon� Todos aportando su pequeña o grande contribución para esta gran confrontación final. Tantos eventos, vueltas de trama y partes conflictivas luchando por sus ideales, y aun así suficientemente simple para que uno nunca pierda perspectiva de la totalidad del panorama, nunca demasiado superpoblado, o difícil de comprender la intensidad de todo. Después de cinco libros todo lo armado ya era simplemente explosivo. Las palabras me fallan para describir semejante magnitud de EPICIDAD, solamente comparable con la Batalla de Hogwarts, o el Asedio de Gondor. Incomparable, y verdaderamente inolvidable.
Esto acabó de la forma correcta, hermosamente a su manera, aunque no fue un final feliz para todos. Una maravillosa conclusión para una de mis más amadas series. Y un universo que planeo volver a visitar pronto, con los Héroes del Olimpo, y cualquiera de las muchas series del autor. Adiós a todos mis queridos Héroes. ¡Y Percabeth por siempre <3!

Thank you Inci! This series was infectuously fun <3

Thank you Mark! Epicness means the quality of being super duper EPIC xD

Thank you Keishaa! This series is a pillar of childhood <3

Thank you Heather! One of the best ever <3


Thank you Sarah! I see you stopped in the middle, if you enjoyed the first two can't see the rest disappointing you too much ;)


Thank you Srivalli! Well yes and no actually :p. I'm not sure I can say it *ends* here, some part of it yes but I hear many of these characters appear in other series, like Heroes of Olympus, The Trials of Apollo, or even crossover series like Percy Jackson & Kane Chronicles. Riordan's universe is so massive! Can't wait to jump into the next one :D

Oh, that's cool. Happy reading! :)

Thank you Nora! Hope someday you enjoy it too :D

Thank you Paulette! It was truly great :D !


Thank you Paulette! It was truly great :D !"

Thank you Chantel! A trip down memory lane is good from time to time, like you do with the Goosebumps books ;)


It was a grand reunion lol. Thank you Mac :) !

And I left many out lol ! Thank you Hanna :D !

rated it 5 stars


Thank you Hasfia! Oh how many times I've wished that. If only one could erase a memory as easy as a computer file. Just to forget it and reread it like the first time <3. With so many technological advances I think someday we may actually get there! Just sadly not in our lifetime :p

Love it when a series can end on a high note. Seems like a fitting and satisfying conclusion. Good review, Federico.

Epic it is, can't wait to see what Riordan has next :D ! Thank you Thibault!

Thank you Rosh! If you enjoy the genre I think its hype is more than justified :) . Will take a break before starting Heroes of Olympus though!

Such an amazing closure <3. Thank you Tami!

Must say this series is one of those few special cases that it's actually that good. Thank you Sherry!

Good luck with the following series, hope you enjoy it as much as this one.

You are welcome Sherry! Hope you enjoy it :)

Thank you Marcos! Hope you enjoy the revisit :D


Thank you Fiza! Does deserve all its hype :)


Bummer! Life and responsibilities always getting in the way lol. Thank you Coco :) !

Your prayers are answered child. May words always treat you kindly; and be forever free of stupid decisions!

As someone who has commitment issues with series, I'm feeling blessed.😄 Seriously, I'm glad you enjoyed this series, and I hope you're excited with Book 6. I heard it's a reunion book, if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you Shey! Looking forward to it, but it'll be a quite a while before I can actually read it. Although "The Chalice of the Gods" is the 6th book in the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series, chronologically speaking it comes 11th in the Riordanverse. So will first have to read the whole "Heroes of the Olympus" series, a bunch of little novellas, and possibly "The Kane Chronicles" too before even attempting this new release. It's a complicated world :/
