I recently began the fourth installment of Rick Riordan's The Heroes of Olympus series, The House of Hades. I know, I know,and YES I am a freshman and I am STILL reading this series... but hey, I have soon QUITE a few copies of this book floating around the halls of MHS, so I know I'm not alone. Iguess ever since I started his Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, I have just been hooked! EVERY year is the same; you finnish his new book that just came oiut, and then you have to wait a whole more year to get the next one! I nearly died when I looked at the back cover of the bookto see if there was another "Coming Soon.." message. I definitely felt wabi-sabi (wow, I think I actually found a really good way to use that word in context!) because on one side, I'm thinking "YAY! It's not over yet! I still have one more book to read!" and yet I'm thinking "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? I have to wait ANOTHER year; AGAIN!?" Oh well, something to look forward to.
I'm also really looking forward to the "last cliff-hanger" Riordan mentions in his dedication.
"To my wonderful readers:
Sorry about that last cliff-hanger.
WEll, no, not really. HAHAHAHA
But seriously, I love you guys."
Liz, my wonderful book lender, assures me that the ending is sure to be as infuriating as the author makes it seem. Great... I guess myself and my fellow Rick Riordan fans will all just have to be still hanging in there.
