From The Publisher:
Though the Greek and Roman crewmembers of the Argo II have made progress in their many quests, they still seem no closer to defeating the earth mother, Gaea. Her giants have risen - all of them - and they're stronger than ever. They must be stopped before the Feast of Spes, when Gaea plans to have two demigods sacrificed in Athens. She needs their blood, the blood of Olympus, in order to wake.
The demigods are having more frequent visions of a terrible battle at Camp Half-Blood. The Roman legion from Camp Jupiter, led by Octavian, is almost within striking distance. Though it is tempting to take the Athena Parthenos to Athens to use as a secret weapon, the friends know that the huge statue belongs back on Long Island, where it might be able to stop a war between the two camps. The Athena Parthenos will go west; the Argo II will go east.
The gods, still suffering from multiple personality disorder, are useless. How can a handful of young demigods hope to persevere against Gaea's army of powerful giants? As dangerous as it is to head to Athens, they have no other option. They have sacrificed too much already. And if Gaea wakes, it is game over.

i loved the book but dont get me wrong the final fight was underwhelming for me because i was expecting more like what happened in the last olympian
I loved this series and I am sad to see it end and to let these characters go!
OHMIGOSH MY FEELS ARE MAKING ME HYPERVENTILATE! I am going to miss Percy and the gang soooooo much! I suppose we'll hear from them again when Rick "Troll" Riordan writes the Percy Jackson/Kane Chronicles crossover, but that's not even a concrete promise.
Let me add Nico, Reyna, Hazel, Frank, Leo, Calypso, Piper, and Jason to the list of people who Rick needs to give peace to!!
Rick Riordan is one of my favorite authors-and this is one of my favorite series by him. I love the way he seamlessly weaves all the mini-battles together, leading up to the battle at the end.
