The Heroes of Olympus - The ulitimate Greek stop mythology (Part 2)

Hiya readers! Yang here. So this post is actually an extension of the previous as we thought it was becoming too big for an introduction. This post will consist of an intro on House of Hades and Blood of Olympus, which is (unfortunately) supposed to be the last in the series (wipes an already red nose). Yes Yin, I know I cried for five days on that one, I remember it crystal clear, you also did as a matter of fact. Yeah, I just revealed it. You are not the only one in this room who can be an offspring of Satan okay?
Back to the review.

HOUSE OF HADES
Just when you think it can not get more interesting and you wouldnt have to suffer more than Mark of Athena Rick drops this. Probably even thinking, HAHA, noobs. Through the whole book it is shown that Annabeth and Percy are separated by the rest of the crew (before you go into a coma, let me tell you, they still are together). They land on a place where they can walk for a few thousand miles and reach the other end of the doors of death (should we tell them? Probably not. Most of them must already know). But in order to reach there, they have to walk through valleys, counter evil monsters, even gods, as if the gods weren't enough, they encounter Night herself (No kidding, NIGHT!), who is one of the first creations, and gives people a very great reason to be afraid of the dark. All of this is not enough suffering right? More to come. They are hungry and it feels like their innards have shrunk to a size of a pea and their supplies are depleted. Oh yeah, they have to drink fire.


BLOOD OF OLYMPUS-
Okay, this is it. The end. The apocalypse. The fountain of tears. The sarcasm. The mountain of suffering. The show of charm, strength, wit and mythical imagination. All packed and cleverly wrapped in the ultimate and endless expanse of pages, words and letters. This the time when it is shown that seven teenagers who posseses the charm, wit, sarcasm, strength, intellect and hope have the power to stop the greatest threat to both Gods and humanity, Gaia. How just two completely different empires, built in different eras (Romans and Greeks), shared rivalries for centuries, if worked together can do anything. Even stop our beloved, leaf-tiara making, Queen Dirt face (Gaia) from waking up. So how do they stop her? Or do they stop her at all? What will be the final battles? How will they emerge victorious? Does anybody die in this one? (Hope not, Rick will need more protection than the president of the United States from half of the world)

Okay readers, this is it, we have finished the introduction. Wait till next week for a more detailed review on lost hero. Don't forget, you'll get a new post every week.
Yin, want to have chocolates, while we watch Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt marathon?
Haha, I know I'm being a wee bit evil okay? This is the comeback for last week!
A little secret readers, Yin here is feeling really hungry but she does not want to finish her chocolate stash in one day, and just like any other girl, she loves Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. But they both are married or too old. Have a good Sunday people!

Heroes of Olympus- The ultimate Greek mythology series (introduction)

(Cue the smoke. Cue the lights. And action!)
Yang! Curse your ADHD! You've got to learn how to control it! We are bloggers! We write. No, we will not have doves on the next one! What's with you and a flashy entrance? Stop fidgeting around now!

Fine day Sunday, isn't it? Hello there viewers. Sorry for the interruption, Yang is a bit ADHD, it's not much. So let's start again shall we? This is Yin and Yang back in action. For the coming five weeks, Yang and I are going to take you to the land of the gods, where adventure, quests and monsters thrive. We're planning to dedicate each post to each part. I'm here to kick-start our tour with an introductory post, giving you an insight to what you're going to get for the next few weeks. Five books and each one better than the other, this series is a keeper. So let's get straight into it!

THE LOST HERO-
Our protagonist for this part, Jason Grace, has an amnesia problem and tries to cope up. He's sent on a quest to save Hera. Accompanied by Leo and Piper, he sets out to find Hera hoping that she would have answers about his past. (God fact incoming. Hera is one possesive, short tempered wife who gets jealous of all the girls her husband (Zeus) "hangs out" with. What? No Yang it does not ring a bell. Yeah I'm sure. That's it! I'm half eating your chocolates! I don't care about your sacred beverage! And NO! I'll not save the small ones for you! Humph! Short-tempered and me? You will pay for this Son of Poseidon!)



THE SON OF NEPTUNE-
Getting back to our review, we have another case of amnesia, but this time with our Greek hero, Percy Jackson! The only thing he remembers is Annabeth. He sneaks past gorgons and finds his way to a camp. Soon a prophecy comes his way and he teams up with Hazel and Frank to find a trapped God and release him. But this quest is in a land away from the realm of the Gods, so the added danger and hence more chances of dying in battle. But that's the same old usual for a demigod right? From this part we get to know how dangerous sons of Neptune/Poseidon are. That's right Yang, I'm looking at you!


THE MARK OF ATHENA-
With each part, the adventure and magic just keeps getting better. Our seven heroes Percy, Annabeth, Jason, Piper, Leo, Hazel and Frank, get together on a ship, Argo II on Roman soil! (Romans and Greeks are like snake and mongoose. Okay Yang, help me out here. What should we call it? Stupidity or guts? Yeah, less informed is much better.) So they go on a quest to stop Gaia (the mother earth and their great grandmom) from waking up. No matter how despicable the gods are, you don't want Queen Dirt face to rule the world. As you are a demigod you get a "trouble attracting" magnet and a deadly hamper of monsters free so more complimentary hampers are bound to come. Yay! And yet we all thought Mother Earth was good, frolicking with bunnies with a rainbow as background and making cute little tiaras with leaves. This tells us a lot folks.

Okay Yang, don't you think it is getting too much? I don't think so but still too much magic, monsters and adventure may make our heads implode and also we don't want to obsess about it too much. So we'll meet you next week. Yang will get back to you on the remaining two parts. Until then, this is Yin and Yang signing out!

Get to know us

Hey! This is Yang and here's our story. Yin and Yang...together we're like a clock. The hands are me as I am the main guy who writes. Yin, my partner-slash-best friend is the gear that is needed for the hands to function properly. Basically, we need each other to exist and compliment each other by doing so. Get the personification people, we are actually humans. Or is it called metaphor? Yin says it's the former device, so we'll go with it.

As you just saw, Yin here helps me with polishing my works as she has a way with words and I have a way of dumping it on her (Ouch! The lamp hurts you know? And I hope you are laughing at the sarcasm I just carved in the situation). She does not like it if I under display myself, it's just for show.
Anyway, in this blog we will base our posts on which the very existence of humans depends. Perspective. We will take turns in writing our views in each post. We, as shown in the description, will write about anything worth our notice, which includes almost everything, except badgers, they are evil. So that's it, we hope you like our future reviews. Ciao readers. This is Yin and Yang signing out!

Hey Yin, would you mind whipping up a delicious lasagna? I know I have my hands working! And you also know I am against patriarchy! Pretty please? At least do noodles? Guess I'll have to manage with chocolate today.
