I did end up finishing The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan and this is my personnel review on goodreads:
"It was pretty good. Its classic Riordan with the funny dialogue and deep characer developement. For me though there is just to much in this series. You've got the whole Leo being able to produce fire, then Frank can turn into diffeerent animals, then Hazel's whole alive dead alive thing and her "magical gems,then Nico's whole situation which is cool and everything but I feel like he came up with the idea halfway through the series,Reyna's whole giving strength thingy, and finally ANOTHER FREAKING LOVE TRIANGLE between Reyna, Jason and Piper. GOD DANGIT theres to many of them. Always with the freaking love triangles ughhhhhh. I'm not even goning to get into it because I get to worked up. Anyways all of those things listed are just kinda to much. I would have gone without them personally, there just so wierd and needless. Overall the dialogue between the characters are mostlyy good. There are a couple areas where I might have cringed a little (I'm looking at you "water boy" blehh) but most of it was fine. There were some ooey gooey parts that did seem to seep out of the twilight series and dribbled into this book but I guess that is for all you hopeless romantics.There are two parts that I loved and need more of, Reyna and Nico and Piper and Annabeth. Reyna and Nico just seem to click, I mean they work weel together and they're just two amazingly strong characters that need more time in the spotlight. I would kill for a spin-off series based around them. Piper and Annabeth are like the best friends that most girls wish they had. They just seem to get each other ya' know. There is a little goopey dialogue in there I could do without but it kinda fits. So to wrap it all up, I would suggest this to people looking for an easy read to blow through till there next book but if you are looking for a series that will keep you on your toes till the very end look somewhere else."
