I just finished the Blood of Olympus. At first, it was kind of confusing, because I wasn't really sure where the story was going. I felt like the writing style, for Leo especially, was similar to Jennifer A. Nielsen's The False Prince Trilogy for Jaron. It was more mysterious and secretive, where Rick Riordan hints at things we find out about later, and he doesn't explain anything until near the end. There was more foreshadowing than in previous books. Also...
*SPOILER ALERT*
Leo find Calypso! Yaaaaaaaayyyy! This end is tied up! We all think Leo is going to die (Well, I didn't because I totally can't imagine Rick Riordan killing off Leo, he's a. funny, b. my favourite character, and c. just plain awesome. He's also unique. But on the other hand, the whole storm and fire thing is kinda, well... iffy. Also, Leo doesn't die when Clytius meets him in House of Hades, so...) but at the end, we realize he'd been assembling Festus in the hull and Festus injects him with the physicians cure (which I still don't get by the way) and he lives again and finds Ogygia and Calypso packs and was waiting for him and everything's happily ever after! Yaaaaaayyyyy! We actually end in a cliffhanger-ish situation, because Leo's about to go off with Calypso and we never find out where they go. Still. YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!
Okay, I'm done fangirling.
