With ittie-bitties about Sisyphus, Melinoe and the river Lithe, this 5-chapter story has great potential but (I never thought I'd have to say this for a Rick book) it doesn't live up to it. And needless to say, they do so just at the right moment. So Percy, Thalia and Nico set off with their flowery compass to catch the thief. I would catch the thief just to save it LOLs). They are given a potted carnation by Persephone that will help them catch the thief and if all it petals fall off, it means the thief has fled, all hopes lost (poor flower. So it is imperious that Percy and gang get the sword back. Persephone summons Percy, Thalia and Nico to help find Hades's sword that is built with a Death's key in the hilt (hope I got the term right :P) This key can lock and unlock death (I know! Right!) and also, theoretically, Tartarus. The story line is an interesting one, that takes place in the Underworld.
But I am sorry to say this book disappointed me. As a result, when I heard about this book, I just HAD TO read it. I just LOVE the series and Rick with all my heart. That's very selfish of them.Īnyway, I give this 3 stars. It seems like what all they do is sit around on their thrones, watch the demigods fix their personal troubles, see them die. And now I'm starting to hate the gods/goddesses. In there we could see how they can be randomly summoned by the gods/goddesses to run some errands, or aid them in their own problems. How they try to blend in with the people. When they're out of camp and not in major quests. In this novelette we were able to have a glimpse of our hero's life before the great war against the titans. I love everything that's associated with Percy. The writing seemed very basic and kind of rushed/not edited. It's not nearly as thrilling as the others in the first and second series. The Sword of Hades was a short read, as it is intended to be a short story. So when I saw this one, I didn't waste time. After I finished The Son of Neptune, my last obsession has been Percy Jackson.
